For about $500 billion, we can cut our launch costs to space from $2000/kg to around $1/kg. That means we can deploy space-based solar satellites and produce 100% clean energy for 10% of the cost of coal. We can start mining asteroids (there are individual asteroids with trillions of dollars of materials on them), and begin colonization of the Moon and Mars, and deep-space exploration.
By creating so much cheap energy that can be sold to the world, the project can easily fund itself, and create cash flows of trillions of dollars. A balanced budget, tax cuts, and plenty of money for all of our social programs are possible. IF we invest in the right projects.
This is our legacy. The First National Bank was not a backstop for fat cat bankers, it was a National Bank that built projects to help all of the people. Within 100 years of our founding, we had connected the midwest by canals, built the National Road into Ohio, and crossed the country with railroads. Other nations, like Japan under Meiji, followed our lead and went from feudal backwaters into industrial superpowers within a few decades.
Imagine all the things that would get made if it wasn't for nogs, foreign aid to nogistan, zog wars and the finance kikes skimming profits.

We can do all of that gay bullshit and still run huge surpluses if we build a Space Elevator.
Alexander Lewis
Kek has spoken, space elevator when?
Xavier Campbell
Infrastructure like the space elevator, orbital rings, launch loops or sky hooks wouldn't generate revenue as such, they would just make it cheaper to get lots of stuff up there over time. Afaik, nobody has found a way to make a profit in space.
Hunter Jackson
bumping for spess elevator
Hunter Scott
space elevator thread fucking WHEN
Connor Thompson
As soon as we all ask the God Emperor to build it.
Mason Walker
You can charge companies to launch their sattelites. You can also have the government build a bunch of solar satellites, generate power, and sell it at a huge profit.
We're talking annual 100% ROI, pretty easily.

You still have that white house petitions website?
Ethan Gomez
Nice idea, but that's not gonna hit Trump's desk. A cascade of memes on here would definitely wake everyone up, though.
Ethan Green
I miss HLI come back to us
Aiden Moore
Then we will continue with the memes user.

last time I checked we didn't have strong enough material to accomplish this even with all the money in the world carbon nanotubes turned out to be shit

If you're doing a space elevator out to geosynchronous, no. But the Orbital Ring only goes to low earth orbit, so you don't need tethers that go thousands of miles.
Julian Martin
Will Trump build the space elevator with Rothschilds money? Or will the main investor be someone else?
Isaiah Sanders
I can't think of a better use of the Rothschild's money than building a Space Elevator to benefit mankind.
Alexander Cox
>build spess elevator >gets blown up What then?
James James
You would protect it. And build multiple tethers, and eventually multiple rings, so that it can't be taken down easily.
Eli Torres
Such Mega-project would take tens of years. It would cost ludicrous amount of money. Even USA is unable to do that by itself. Entire world, yeah there is a possibility.
But it will never happen because we are not suited to work together. You are on Sup Forums for god's sake. You have tons of examples.

Why don't we do it, then? Who is against such a cool idea?
Jacob Morales
Why would you invest in something that is not going to bring you profits in your lifetime?

"Colonel Robert G. Shaw: [points at the flag-bearer] If this man should fall, who will lift the flag and carry on?
[Thomas steps forward]
Cpl. Thomas Searles: I will."
The flag has been dropped. The SE could die here today. Who will step forward and seize their chance for Glory?

> not understanding the expensive part of space is staying there not just getting there
You still need to accelerate to around 7km/s to stay in orbit friend an elevator solves nothing
