The Stapleton-Dyson Artificial Globe

In Disturbing the Universe (1979), Freeman Dyson credits Olaf Stapleton's 1937 "Star Maker" with the idea that is now called the Dyson Sphere. According to Wikipedia, Dr. Dyson wished the concept had not been named after him.

OK, let's call it a "Stady", which can be an abbreviation for "STApleton DYson" artificial globe, or a "STAtite DYnamic" shell. Stapleton gets more letters, though is biologically static, while Dyson gets two letters befitting his modesty and his biologically dynamic status. This site describes a dynamic statite shell, light pressure balancing gravity, with a tiny amount of dynamic control keeping it stable. Not much control is needed; at 50 AU (7.46e12 m), the Sun's gravitational force is 2.4 μm/s² (1.327e20/7.46e12^{2 m/s}2^) , and a 0.1% control error over one minute is a displacement error of 4.3 μm.
