[Not Spaceghost]

So what do you do for your amazon shipping address when suddenly the orbit puts you over rotterdam or some shit?

 

[Mega]

On top of all the problems with this idea, I can't imagine any nation on the planet wants an enormous ugly rock blocking out their sun and sky. All for some stupid floating building from another country.

 

[antibolo]

For fuck's sake. If they can really pull this off, this construct would be a LOT more useful as a space elevator rather than a dumb novelty skyscraper for rich people.

 

[NsirhC]

My biggest fear with this would be the asteroid somehow crumbling or the supports somehow failing.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

 

[MutFox]

So they called the building "Anal Enema Tower"

 

[Buddha Beam]

...and that's how mankind caused a global extinction event and killed them selves.

The End.

 

[D4Danger]

surprised it wasn't drawn in crayon.

 

[Lasthope106]

Whoever came up with this idea got an F in physics or never actually took any.

 

[Regiruler]

Have they watched literally any gundam ever?

This is terrorist bait.

 

[RdN]

I'm sorry, but this is just stupid.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Saying the moon would have been way more plausible

 

[Megalosaro]

Let the purge begin.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Kind of reminds me of the book Seven Eves.

 

[Rudimental]

 

[Wag]

It's the 21st century. Where's my space elevator damnit!?!?

 

[Guevara]

For too long, we've been tyrannized by always building up.

What if, we build d-o-w-n

 

[eot]

No engineer signed off on this, I promise you that. This is exceptionally dumb
No better than this:

 

[Bulzeeb]

Let the purge begin.

came here looking for Char and left satisfied, just wait for the first colony drop

 

[NeonZ]

Have they watched literally any gundam ever?

This is terrorist bait.

Nah, this is the final dungeon for the next Shin Megami Tensei or Devil Survivor.

It somehow includes individual 4 kilometers tall areas for "monument", "worship", "reliquary" and "funerary".

 

[lastplayed]

Well at least it's immune to earthquakes.

 

[commedieu]

I hope dubai doesn't see this :/

 

[Spladam]

Not even worthy of an Onion news article.

 

[old manatee]

nice head, asteroid building.

Well at least it's immune to earthquakes.

Wind is basically just air earthquake and it's happening everywhere all the time.

 

[ultratruman]

Carbon nanotubes, son!!!

 

[TheSeks]

Yeah there's no way this works safely. Otherwise we'd have a Space elevator at t his point.

 

[smurfx]

i'm sure people would love the idea of potentially ending all human life on earth so some rich people can live in a skyscraper that hangs from a comet.

 

[Lautaro]

Is this viral marketing for that Alita movie?

 

[JP_]

 

[CitizenCope]

No it won't.

 

[How About No]

Solaris from Xenogears

Nah, this is the final dungeon for the next Shin Megami Tensei or Devil Survivor.



It somehow includes individual 4 kilometers tall areas for "monument", "worship", "reliquary" and "funerary".

And those top parts are where all the demon research or whatever are done

 

[WaterAstro]

The amount of atmospheric windforce will tear that to shreds. That's why there is no space elevator yet. It's not practical.

 

[cdyhybrid]

This doesn't have sit on Cloud City.

Anti-gravity or bust
