"New York City-based design firm Clouds Architecture Office has plans to build a skyscraper that would hang down from the sky suspended by air cables attached to an asteroid, making it the world’s tallest building. As dezeen learned, the supertall, dubbed Analemma Tower, would not be built on Earth but instead have a “space-based” foundation. Each day, the tower, which would be constructed over Dubai, would travel between the northern and southern hemispheres, with the slowest part of the tower’s trajectory occurring over New York City."
Now you really know the earth is flat. MUH FUGGEN CHANDELIER BILDANG. ASTEROIDS DONT FUCKING MOVE
Parker Morris
Why would you want the pressures of the stratosphere
John Martin
This idea is so retarded
Nathaniel Bailey
How do you send ambulances
Matthew Collins
i assume it's a multi-purposed building
they'll find a use for it
Mason Bailey
This is the most retarded garbage ive ever heard
Leo Martin
This is the dumbest shit
Caleb Cruz
>build giant tower on asteroid that orbits the earth >asteroid gets hit by an object and trajectory is altered >because of the giant tower attached to the earth in gravity, the asteroid plummets towards earth >the asteroid and the tower crash into Dubai, causing devastation the world has never seen before, firestorms of rubble and poo across the city
Yeah what a great fucking idea.
David Garcia
>Americans are smart enough to know that this is impossible
Henry Bennett
>with the slowest part of the tower’s trajectory occurring over New York Cit
itll be like 9/11 backwards
Colton Peterson
>Some retard graphic artist who doesn't understand orbital mechanics made a drawing.
Yawn.
Logan Edwards
Is this a hologram. So theyre counting on it moving. That's quite the asteroid. Nice investment for knowing it'll be there and do this perfectly for like 400 years eh. What happens when it gets to NY? It sinks into ocean
Xavier Mitchell
Wouldn't the tower pull the asteroid out of orbit? Plus, wouldn't air friction slow it down and make it fall out of orbit?
Jace James
I study civil engineering but I think even a kid can tell this is a stupid idea.
Josiah Gray
This is a bunch of bs.
>all over the news So far, I saw it on Newsweek (shit news) and some christian bible thumping news site.
There is literally no chance this is legit.
>hanging from a fucking asteroid
Logan Smith
Honestly, I thought the "Circular Runways" shit that went around last week was the height of stupidity...
WHATS THE POINT OF THIS WHAT WILL IT ACHIEVE WHY ARE ARABS SO FUCKING RETARDED
Owen Anderson
>why can't America >"New York city based design firm"
Matthew Robinson
Finally a building that comes to the plane.
Adam Torres
How would lightning affect this freakish beast
Jackson Russell
The stupidest idea ever. Totally not possible, but sure gives some Joe-Nobody architect a lot of publicity.
Charles Mitchell
well if they have any change left over i have a bridge i can sell them
Nolan Ortiz
They'll fly it into an airplane
Andrew Walker
The asteroid is clearly an artificial asteroid, that is to say, it's a fucking sattelite and not an asteroid at all. It will have to have boosters that keep it in correct orbit, possibly powered by fusion reaction.
Josiah Cook
Birds are going to get hella confused
Jonathan Wright
HA!!!!
Daniel James
air
Dominic Anderson
That is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.
Luis White
Purely theoretical vaporware. It's asteroid anchor is well above geosyncronous orbit which is why it would move in that figure-8 shape. The skyscraper would be moving at hundreds of miles per hour. It would have worse strain and shear characteristics than a straight up lifting space elevator since it swings like a pendulum. By the time we have the tech to do something like this, it would be cutting off dozens of vertical space elevators.
Luke Carter
>architect
It wouldn't surprise me if this was drawn up in civil 3d by some teenager, then pushed around social media until enough retards saw it and thought it was legit. There are enough "news" sites that are filled with retards to make things like this seem legit.
Brayden Torres
...
Brayden Brooks
Yeah. Air eh. 'Scuse me. Let's round up the funds. More than one patient waiting and you're fucked. And it's a giant rotating asteroid restaurant. Hop to it gramma
Carson Reyes
how big
Blake Price
In local news construction company crashes asteroid into Earth while trying to build a building in space which would reach into the Earths Atmosphere
Leo Barnes
>Wow that is beyond retarded, sounds like a goof idea a kid would come up with >But like it's in the news and people are seriously discussing it
Maybe I'm the retard.
Gabriel Rivera
WHAT COULD GO CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH THIS PLAN?
Benjamin Perry
The Gulf states are so desperate for "Western" approval.
Go ahead and build it. Will be fun to watch it crash to the ground once the Mossad/zionists send the American army into UAE.
Brayden Bennett
"So have you heard from Paul recently?" "You didn't hear dude? His office was knocked out of orbit last January."
Wyatt Young
Fucking stop guys.
This is thread must be pure trolling, because that idea is obviously very retarded.
Alexander Morgan
>not wanting to ride the funnest ride at Theme Park Earth
Brandon Moore
>design firm
American colleges should teach some physics to design and gender study students.
Eli Davis
yeah next month we start construction on Uranus.
Colton Howard
at least they dream big. too bad they'll be back to 600 AD when the oil runs out
Owen Ortiz
>requires space suit to wash windows
Jack Collins
It's the current state of humanity. We have become a giant inside joke.
Connor Morris
Well, good luck with that.
Jason Garcia
This is literally just bait for retarded middle class retirees to 'invest' in and lose all their money.
Charles White
Nothing until they discover gravitation.
Jacob Harris
I'd have my office on the 900th floor given half a chance but it ain't happening.
Jordan Allen
>shit only liberals are in awe about
Nolan Lewis
It's retarded, mainly because we'd just build a space elevator if we actually had capable materials.
I mean, unless they plan building from space down, which seems, highly improbable from like, a million different points.
Ryan Howard
underrated
David Hill
If you are gonna build this why not just build the orbital ring. You can hang multiple buildings
Hunter Gonzalez
How would you get into and out of the building?
Anthony Price
kek nice b8 there :)
Juan Smith
It would be a great experience to put on your resume for the eventual application to become a Mars colonist window washer.
Anthony Green
not to big, should be easy enough to move
Robert James
that is a fucking retarded waste of time
Jonathan Diaz
hmm, are floors counted from asteroid down? Or from closest earth floor up?
Ryan Garcia
ITS THE ZEON THEY STOLE UNIT TWO AND ITS ARMED WITH THE NUKE ITS THE ZEON!
Jose Davis
Kek.
sand-niggers are really getting creative.
Eli Reed
Would the air not decelerate the building and therefore the asteroid, pulling out of orbit? This isn't serious right?
Jackson Ross
You know except friction, drag, electromagnetic interference, weather, thermal laws of dynamics. There's is a bajiion reason why this could never work.
Benjamin White
...
Mason Torres
So we're going with the Eon route, eh?
Based.
Thomas Phillips
>washing windows in space
What will you use as washing liquid in zero-pressure environment?
It's as retarded as the people that read and re-post about it
1. Find what an asteroid is 2. Realize asteroids are not on a geosynchronous/geostationary earth orbit 3. It's physically impossible 4. stop reading that fucking garbage 5. Aside: Mars, not in your lifetime
Carter Ortiz
This is fucking ridiculous. I'm from and live in NY and all this bullshit does is clog up the streets and bridges. It's hard enough navigating and getting parking and bullshit like this only makes it even more unbearable because you'll be stuck behind 200 numb skulls with going 0 mph for an hour and a half and still only make it 2 blocks. Kill yourselves
Brandon Bell
This country needs more than a building right now. It needs hope.
Lucas Scott
windows don't get dirty in space. What's there to get them dirty? The ISS doesn't have this problem

lmfao if they actually do that shit i will reserve no props from those crazy sandniggers
Justin Gutierrez
Why don't they just levitate it with a giant magnet?
Levi Butler
UAE makes money by being a tax haven. when the oil runs out a good portion of their customers are going to withdraw all that cash, or more likely, get plundered
Elijah Lee
Damn, I miss space elevator thread.
Charles Cruz
>not reading the articles
They attach a "cap" to the top/bottom of the building as it passes the docking station on Earth. This cap is a few floors tall and carries with it people/supplies. Then when the building passes another docking station, the cap is detached and people can get off in that way.
Bentley Long
>americans talk about a space elevator for half a century >kebabs build it on a whim with oil money inb4 this actually happens
In the same way I have plans to be sexually dominated by Hillary Clinton, doesn't mean it's ever going to happen
Michael Evans
Your plan seems much real.
Angel Nelson

Nolan Hernandez
Everything is electric. This is a bad idea
Andrew Perez
>> still not happening >> for a zillion reasons
Not with that kind of attitude!
C'mon guys, lets get serious. Maybe the asteroid is a bad idea, but what about the moon? We could attach the building to that with super strong, super long cables.
Ryan Ward
>new viral sensation
fuck off ribbit, jesus
Andrew Bailey
Dubai is nigger tier engineering. In New York skycrapers were invented because the lack of space and too many people required it. Dubai is full of inbreed Paki faggots that try to blow thier oil money on shit that would make them look good and money in the future. In reality, it wont. Their empty buildings will crumble from Chinease nigger tier engineering before enough shitskins move to the desert.
Oh and there is 0% chance of this fake news story coming true it is absolutely retarded. America is busy doing shit that matters and shitting out 10 countries worth of propaganda and MKultra.
Jose Hall
why are ayyrabs so anti-space? you see all these rich middle eastern countries with tons of extra money lying around but none of them ever invest into a space program.

Maybe someone should push the idea of a death star to those retarded goatfuckers.
Adam Thompson
Dubai is literally an example of what happens when you give niggers a lot of money, everythings flashy and expensive looking but theres no sustainability and no substance. the burj khalifa dosnt even have a sewage system attached to it, they truck the poop out, literally nigger tier planning. something they didn't anticipate happens and they throw money at it, instead of intelligence.
