What If We Built an Elevator to Space?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Hold on tight, turn up the elevator music, and get ready for a whole new mode of space exploration! Forget rocket launches! We already use elevators to bring us to extreme heights in our tallest buildings, so why can't they take us just a little further into space? But wait - how much would that cost? Do we even possess the technology to make that possible? And what would we gain from the whole endeavor?

The candidates for the space elevator to be built is some countries that located on the equator. Such as Indonesia, Brazil, Congo, Kenya, Colombia, Uganda, Equador, Somalia, Gabon, Saotome and Principe, Maladewa, and Kiribati.
Addition:
Maybe in the future, Nusantara (the new capital city of Indonesia) will be a candidate for the space elevator to be built because this city is right on the equator. Ah. unfortunately Singapore is not on the equator.

Buckle up as Eggman's Ultra Accelerating Space Elevator wisps you to an interplanetary wonderland of fun! This park has been constructed entirely out of a sense of remorse for my past transgressions, and is in no way associated with any sort of evil plot or premeditated misdeed.

When I finished high school in the mid 70s, I/we would have NEVER EVER imagined cell phones, GPS, microwave ovens etc. So it is NOT out of reach that one day, if we don't make the planet uninhabitable, brilliant minds will figure out other ways to space and beyond.
reply

You missed the most important question: -Is it even possible to build the damn thing without it blowing up? - The answer, for the record, is no. Also, 1: 10 and the whole part about what happens if the cable snaps, and the moon thing are stolen from Kurzegazgt.
reply

No here's why stuff can and will crash into the cable thing and destroy it making even more space debry for humanity to deal with and those that are in it, will just get knocked off course and sent into space and probably die.
reply

Escalator by gravity and emf for space station supply replenishment or air travel of long range. With MAD north and South strong enough we can anchor the space station and earth and so escalator is much more feasible
reply

I'm sorry, what would we gain by building a space elevator? A freaking space elevator what more do you want! ;)
Addendum- Why wouldn't a titanium cable work? That's one extremely strong metal.

reply

Would be perfect on Mars if we blew up its moons. On Earth a space elevator would be effected dramatically by solar radiation and how would carbon nano tubes respond to being exposed to such elements

Hi what if grey aliens
I close FB page - the snake CEO is up again for more confusing.
Pls protect me inside NWO for my safety
I work on Squarespace myself

Why? That is so much material wasted and what if a tornado or hurricane or space debris hits it? Wouldn't it be better to make a kinetic telemetry rail launchers instead?
reply

I like they boiled down the number to 63 mega pascal but how does it account the weight of graphene. also 30% ground structure 30% space neutral the shift could be stressful
reply

We should build an auto cut for the string. for example if the string breaks on top then its our duty to break it on earth also to prevent loss. and vice-versa.
reply

Although this video has interesting details-
I'M against this childish trash of an idea.
NO WAY are we EVER going to have strong enough material for it.

reply

These project ideas are childish instead of building whole tower ( that is not possible to make ) -they can make lift that fly up in to station -. simple
reply

currently reading -I have mansion in the apocalypse world-, and being confused with the space elevator. thank u so much for the explanation.
reply

Of course it-s possible. Seto Kaiba already done did it! AND he did it on a children-s card game salary, so it can-t be that expensive.
reply

Belive it or not this was deemed the most realistic way space travel would become economically feasible a decade or 2 ago.
reply

I have a question.
Where would we build it?
Because I really want to visit the space elevator if it was invented. -

reply

Goodness me, it would have to be perfectly engineered, if not, the impacts of the failure will be so catastrophic.
reply

Extreme Engineering bro. mount the base on the Himalayas or the Andes to use the advantage of natural high terrain.
reply

I'm betting the one behind the construction is the Osean federation!
(How are there not a single ace combat fan)

reply

How about a space cable? Or cable not attached any anchor point. Catch a vehicle in flight and pull up.
reply

Actually I once had a nightmare about this where I was stuck in an elevator that took me to outer space.
reply

They can't even get McDonald's ice cream machines to work, but they want to build an elevator to space -
reply

Maybe easier to build a space elevator on the Moon? They are planning to mine o the Moon in the future.
reply

What if the government quit salting our roads savings billions of dollars in automobiles rusting away
