How long till we begin to build a space lift?
The sooner we're able to get one built the sooner we can send massive modules to the space station for as little as 26$ dollary doo's
How long till we begin to build a space lift?

Justin Young
we can't even build a fucking wall.

Caleb Jackson
Tfw no more space elevator threads

>lift
show your flag britbong
Ayden Rodriguez
Who is we, nigger? What exactly are you going to contribute to this technological advancement?

It's currently not physically possible with materials today.
the problem is that there is no material light enough but strong enough to support a tether that long.
There was hope that carbon nanotubes could do it, but they prove significantly difficult to create them in any length, much less withstand the weight they need to.

I miss Space Elevator.
Adrian Nguyen
>tfw when you will never be part of a Space Elevator thread ever again
I miss him guys
Juan Russell
Not possible to much space junk
Easton Perez
China developed a new material that makes space elevators possible.
Brayden Martinez
>what is wind?
>a $9 gorillion project that would fall apart with smallest space debris colission
>calling it a ((lift))
Do you even engineer, britfag?
Angel Clark
Sure they did Chinese proxy fuck
Nathan Scott
Right after we get SOLAR FREAKIN' ROADWAYS
Jace Rogers
I completely forgot about Space Elevator.
Holy fuck remember when pol was good?
Dylan Rivera
When everyone rereads the space elevator threads, understands the system enough to give normies a quick rundown on how its feasible economically and physically, and start making threads on here and writing politicans.
Angel Edwards
FUCK

Long time. It's hugely expensive and we don't have strong enough materials. We might end up building one on the moon if that every becomes industrialized, but either way, no way it happens within the next 100 years.
Caleb Wright
It can never be built. The top would just fall down to the ground.

I can't tell you an exact timeframe, but it will sure as hell take a long time and can only be done at the equator.
First we need to be able to mass-produce carbon-nanotubes or something if compareable strength, then we need a shitload of funding to pay for a shitload of carbon-nanotubes and launches to build the required teather, reaching beyond geostationary orbit.

26$ per pound or kg?
Sounds great, but will not happen anytime soon.
