We can build an Orbital Ring Space Elevator today, using steel and kevlar. The Orbital Ring goes to low earth orbit, so it does not need advanced materials.
Why build the Orbital Ring? It would cut our costs of going to orbit from about $2000/kg to about $1/kg. There are individual asteroids that have tens of trillions of dollars in materials on them that could be mined. One mission could easily pay for the cost of building the Orbital Ring.
We could then deploy solar power satellites in orbit above cloud cover and return the power back to the surface with near zero loss by running power transmission cables down the elevator, and sell the power at a profit.
With increased luminosity in space, enhanced exposure time, and the ability to deliver base loads, solar panels pay for themselves in only 1-2 years while having a 20 year life time.
In other words, if you put $5 trillion of solar panels into space, you get your $5 trillion back by the end of year two and a $5 trillion income stream each year thereafter.
In other words, the US could cut everyone's taxes, both personal and business, income, capital, death, or otherwise, all to 0%, not even cut any benefits or current spending, and pay off the national debt within a decade.
Jesus Christ, this is the stupidest idea I've seen in a long time on here. Which is saying something.
WE DON'T HAVE CARBON NANOTUBES! WE CAN'T BUILD A SPACE ELEVATOR!
Isaiah Ortiz
Bump for interest, my dudes
Christian Garcia
If it's so great, why haven't they built it yet?
Angel Roberts
That's what I said. If it was this good, we would have done it. Everyone knows that.
Christ, the homos infesting this place.
Logan Moore
Bump
Christopher James
I NEVER SAID CARBON NANOTUBES YOU FUCKING PLEB, STEEL AND KEVLAR ARE THE PREFERRED MATERIALS FOR THE ELEVATORS
Adrian Bell
Space elevator thread Havent seen this in a long time
Luis King
We have the technology to become a type 1 civilization right now. Let us embrace our destinies!
Eli Martinez
If get Pinochet Approves
Lucas Cruz
How the fuck are you gonna build a 20,000 mile long cable with steel and kevlar, numbnuts?
Kevin Stewart
Wow, I wonder who this could be, someone with something to gain from slowing the world's progress in the energy field?
Jacob Carter
Holy Christ, the anti-semites are all uniting behind the space fagavator.
WE CAN'T BUILD IT!
Caleb Moore
Because white America decided that it was more important to cuck ourselves out to the brown hordes and give them our wealth than conquer and explore the stars. We traded space exploration for seeing how many black dicks we can fit in our asses
Brody Hernandez
Kikes shilling for the women's vote that allowed them to decide to give the money to niggers rather than to explore space.
Austin Long
To be fair, I'm not unwilling to accept that this information has been surpressed by those trying to make a quick buck.
Lucas Kelly
Haven't you ever been to Sup Forums before, you nigger?
Owen Murphy
Oh great, we've got Sup Forums conspiracy fags in here now.
So what, we can have $5 trillion a year and the Illuminati stopped it because... they control the financial system and they'd get even richer?
Brilliant idea. I bet the Reptillians are involved too.
Xavier Moore
Orbital rings would only be 300km away from the surface
YOU ARE BLACK! AND JEWISH! WHY ARE YOU SO JEWISH! AH! AAAAHH!!!
Jace Cook
Geosynchronous is not 300 km away you cuck! It's 5,000 miles away!
Andrew Jackson
Weren't all the original rocket scientists Austrian/German and part of the third reich?
Owen Martinez
Tbh this show makes me wish that I was born five hundred years after I was
Daniel Williams
The reptilian aren't involved, but the Jews are.
Sebastian Lee

Caleb Johnson
Is that a bad thing? Maybe they were on to something...
Jaxson King
It's not just about exploration. Learn to read.

Aaaand the Aryans want a space fagavator now, too. It's a retard convention in here.

No it isn't. FTL travel is im-fucking-possible.
Our destiny is here in this solar system, whether you like it or not.

Aiden Carter
Shit costs money nigga. Money doesn't come from nowhere.
Matthew Gutierrez
because none of it is practical or economical. trust me, if there was money to be made in space travel/mining, the jews would already be there exploiting it.
Dylan Bennett
>Yes let's build a space elevator! We'll take the monies from Laquanda and her six kids, from the Jew's defense budget, from the Boomers and their Medicare and Social Security..... Like that's going to happen.
Brody Lopez
9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! SPACE ELEVATORS ARE A CONSPIRACY! MATERIALS EXIST THAT DON'T ACTUALLY EXIST!
It's a zoo of big gay animals tonight.
Noah Martin
Go get raped britcuck
Ayden Williams
Ironically enough my Jew dad worked on the Canada Arm and probably contributed more to the advancement of space science than all of you autistic retards put together.
Justin Diaz
Well, not with that attitude, it won't be.
Cooper Mitchell
This thing would easily pay itself off.
Christian Barnes
TO SYNAGOGUE WITH YOU PLEASE. JUUJUUJUUUJUUUUJJUUUUJJUUUUUJEWJEJWEJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJEWJ
Zachary Thompson
Take the cost of every pointless conflict in the name of "defending Israel, our greatest ally" and we could most likely pay for multiple elevators. Not to mention if we just pull out our whole military from outside borders, strip the CIA and NSA budget so nobody has a need to attack us and we'll be gucci
Caleb Richardson
Deep conspiracy involved here, spacefags. It's the Jews, who sent another Jew spy to pretend not to be a Jew to cover up the space elevator, right?
We don't have nanotubes. We can't do it. This is like the flat earth morons.
Mason Williams
This,
You seriously think the government would rather not pay for refugee's living costs and instead explore space?
Brody Allen
We're already running a $500 billion deficit. Why would we want to make it worse with this stupid space fagavator?
Henry Gonzalez
Fuck off kike
Josiah Bennett
It's easier for them to make money with the existing mechanisms. The space elevator is too big a risk for them to take as of right now, so they haven't yet.
Xavier Diaz
we could form a political party for the sole purpose of space travel. Transcending the Overton window, we won't convince the boomers or the welfare whores but who cares. The Nazis were also a minority but they figured it out
Adam Murphy
>my Jew dad worked on the Canada Arm He probably introduced a design flaw to fuck with the goyim
Cameron Hill

Sebastian Adams
IT'S A KIKE CONSPIRACY TO HIDE THE FACT THAT WE CAN'T MAKE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T MAKE!
Ayden Robinson
Every civilization that came to dominate did so through exploring. FUCKING BUILD IT.
Adam Carter
Nah, we're not like that, don't project your spiteful shittiness onto others.
Just because you would do something like that doesn't mean we would.
The men in our family have always taken pride in our work.
Grayson Cook
Low Earth Orbit =/= Geosynchronous Orbit
I'm only a cuck for answering you in the first place.
James Powell
The scale of an orbital ring is beyond anything we can build in the near future. Every article I've seen on orbital rings shows a stunning lack of understanding about low earth orbit. If you want to see something achievable, look up the Rotavator.
To the larger question, we never stopped exploring. We're getting pretty good at it. Best thing is that the next big wave of space exploration isn't going to be shackled to Cold War budget priorities.
Hunter Gonzalez
You have to go to geosynchronous to put satellites up.
Xavier Morris
...
Jaxson Rodriguez
:)
Landon Kelly
WTF is a rotavator? I hope it's not as gay as the fagavator.
Nathan Fisher
That's exactly what a scheming kike would say. I bet he stole secrets to pass them on to Israel too.
Jacob Nguyen
Because the Soviet Union collapsed. Without a rival to goad us into throwing money into the space program things kinda just died out.
Dominic Thomas
It's a good thing we have dumb pieces of shit like you to balance out intelligent creative people like my dad, otherwise we might actually be able to accomplish something.
Kudos to you on doing the all-important work of being a piece of crap and dragging us all down.
Andrew Sullivan
We can't build it. We don't have nanotubes.
Oliver Diaz
Not to mention the death of JFK also marked the burial of America's desire to conquer space and achieve greatness. Instead we took up the war on poverty
Orion's arm is so based or would be if it weren't so infected with Tumblr-grade special snowflakes trying to make articles about space furries and shit.
Cooper Moore
DATS RIIIIIIIIGHT
Julian Hill
We don't need nanotubes. What makes you think that we do? We could easily build it with the resources that we already have available to us.
Wyatt Martin
That doesn't make carbon nanotubes exist.
Justin Gomez
...
Andrew Mitchell
>We don't need nanotubes. What makes you think that we do?
We have to go out 5000 miles to geosynchronous.
Kayden Gray
Can you not fucking read?
Adam Cruz
Sick meme xD totally owned him
Jonathan Robinson
You gonna have to source me on that one, B; I need it for research purposes
Grayson Bell
Read what? Someone said they'd go 300 km. That's no geosynchronous. You'd throw satellites up and they'd decay back to earth.
Parker Garcia
...
Landon Jackson
Cuz of Jews
Wyatt Peterson
You go to geosynchronous, and then use the orbital ring to launch payloads to orbit. It cuts the cost from $2000 to like $2.
It's totally doable right now.
Jeremiah Sanders
rather spend the money building walls and blowing up muzzies
Adam Bell
THIS IS THE BOOK TO SPARK A SPACE REVOLUTION AND A COMPLETE REVOLUTION OF ALL MINDS AND SOCIETY FOR ALL OF ETERNITY AND END ALL DESTRUCTIVENESS
Jacob Wright
Sorry, you go to low earth first, then launch to geosynchronous a lot cheaper since there's less atmosphere and gravity.
Ryder Barnes
Be gone leaf
Benjamin Hill
Of course. I'm sure your dad makes up for all the other kikes that are totally not undermining the goyim. Me and my Goyishe Kop!
Cooper Gray
WE HAVE THE BEST SHIPS, SEA AND SPACE!
Adrian Turner
RIP in peace Space Elevator
Michael Fisher
How the fuck is it doable right now? You'd still need nanotubes to go around the planet. It's even longer than going to orbit.
