Theories on how to build a space elevator have been around for decades. Scientists say not only would such technology change humanity, but that we could have built one by now. #Space #Moonshot #BloombergQuicktake ——– Like this video?

No , the failure will be far to dramatic to even contemplate .
Im ready to invest all my money. Where is the coin slot?
but yeah I have a pretty simple solution for the problem. lol wow I can't believe people haven't thought of the solution I have. Or maybe they, have I don't know, but I haven't heard it and it would work
if it doesn't snap this is a great Idea. I have a big suggestion for people here but I'm not going to just write that stuff up on comments anymore. But yeah if they can make the elevator to outer space that would be amazing.
Space elevators are fiction science..
Even if we're closer to WW3 than Moon base/city/whatnot or a class out war between poor and the ultra rich, Bloomberg Quicktake is going place with this type of video content.
It was fantastic idea
The other video estimated it would save 3quadrillion and 10000 years. Its easily worth 20 trillion hours and doable under 4 for a 200km building . Saving 200 trillion in maintenance ,land etc..
I can’t wait to see the first people break down on it
It will surely take decades
but it can do this they just need to set it at the same speed as that of the earth and have a spring not to go down too many parameters to take into account, I believe that this is possible, the new quantum computers will be able to improve the data in order to have data on which we can actually work, in clear of the high aerobatic calculus
There will never be a space elevator. There is no cable that could even hold it's own weight. No scientist would ever believe it. This is just a lie.
There is no end to the appetite for science fiction. We have no technology that can allow this to happen.
A space elevator would simply snap due to inertia, plus there would be a difference in wind drag. For the same reason Neptune has rings that elevator would snap.
Build a space station at the end of it! no brainier.. Im hearing there might be one coming up for sale..needs work!!
I think they're a little too optimistic. When you weave carbon nanofibers together, they lose almost 100 times their original strength.
Wow Dr Brad clearly doesn’t understand how rockets leave the earth, newsflash it’s not in a straight line, so dropping a cable is gonna be a huge problem
The fact that the japanese professor spoke about how the elevator could cause wars might have been the reason why the writers of Ace Combat 7 wrote their game's story around this concept. Either way it would be dope if we one day build something like this!
I wonder what stuff like this does to earths center of mass
Ropes.. cables.. not ribbon
Redundancies are easy.. let's all sit at weaving machines making cables ! 😀
This mad scientist is like a gambling addict being at the point of no return. Sad…
Or he can contact Elon Musk coz he's got the inside connection. 😉
In my opinion, a construction 40 miles high would be a nice platform in rocket launching. I did some calculus and it saves 80% of rocket contained fuel.
Wow
Going to take a lot of magic beans to grow a beanstalk to space
Sorry guys but we as humans will never survive the next century. We have decimated our jungles & forests thus destroying a ecosystem of insects. Without plants & animals we have secured our extinction just like we have with or oceans.
I wounder whay Elon Musk thinks of this.
wrong
Sounds a lot like BS
