Moist von Lipwig posted:They confused geostationary and geosynchronous interesting. I assumed that the reason you got a figure 8 rather than just a line was because of a non-circular orbit, like the shape of the solar analemma.

I looked for an orbit visualizer, but ended up finding this instead http://iacopoapps.appspot.com/hopalongwebgl/

also i mean we're talking about something maybe not at a true geostationary altitude, but in that general range, right? so like a 20,000 mile long cable from which hangs an enormous skyscraper being dragged through an entire atmosphere's worth of weather?

Tall skyscrapers sway enough in the wind to give some people motion sickness. Imagine what living in that danglescraper would feel like even in a light breeze

I'm honestly thankful to the architects for coming up with this disaster because there's a hilarious number of ways it could go wrong and thinking of them is like a really fun, cynical brainstorming session.

they should probably have made it a little bit higher up so that it doesn't crash into that mountain every 24 hours also an amazing proportion of the tower is reserved for dead people

Well, it's in the section that's in near vacuum, so it makes sense I guess?! Also a lot of holy object storage for some reason?

the worse part about this sky tower isn't that it's never going to be built it's that they're probably going to make a couple mil pre-selling condos to gullible rich fucks

That asteroid skyscrapper would never work because orbits aren't a thing you can do around the earth because the earth is flat
