THe most expensive part of space travel getting into orbit, it is the number one thing stopping us from creating space structures, these could include things that would allow us to generate power and MUCH more easily traverse our solar system it also gives us the ability to potentially begin operations to harvest materials from outside of earth, it makes the possibility of actually building structures on the moon far more viable as well.

Space elevator is the first MAJOR step to populating our solar system beyond probes.

Maybe some sort of system where we bring cargo up on high-altitude planes, then tether it to a cable from there is possible?

Just as a quick aside, what ever happened to Space Elevator anon? Those threads were always super comfy.
>>
>>541775387
We dont need to go beyond the Van allan belt to benifit from a space elevator, because said elevator would allow us to bring heavy meterials needed to build structures that nromally would not be able to be launched into space due to their size.

We could build orbital platforms that sit in the van alan belt and direct microwaves from the sun to power stations back on earth, platforms that would be far larger then what we currently have allowing us to begin harvesting clean, unlmited free energy from our star.

Due to how expensive and hard it is to get things into orbit right now, we cant do it.

It's not. The issue with any material is the decay it receives over a period of time. In otherwords, you can't stop the rot, and the rail line needed must be perfect, otherwise the whole thing collapses.

A rotating platform in space. Catches the craft and flings it out. Tricky at first until you schedule incoming and outgoing at the same time so energy is transferred equally.
Imagine a central point, and two miles long arms extending from the point. It's rotating at a set speed and juuuust dips right above the upper atmosphere.
Craft flies up, attaches to "hook" and the rotation carries it up and out. The opposite end would be used to catch incoming craft at the same time. That way the platform doesn't need to use fuel to compensate for the energy lost with the outgoing.
A space elevator would be good if we were a type one civ at least, but skyhooks are doable now.

I failed to mention that the length is what matters, there's only so far you can go continuously before it breaks. 66,000 miles is long for thin beam, and will snap under its own weight the second the material decay become severe enough, which wouldn't take long at all.

Basically, I'm saying the space elevator is impossible because it is too easy for it to go wrong.

yeah I was thinking about how they get that number and it's not really that hard I think. you just integrate the 1/r^2 proportional gravitational forces and the w^2 * r proportional centrifugal forces from earths surface to the height the integrals are equal which should be the point when all your aggregated gravitational forces pulling down equal your aggregated centrifugal forces pulling up.

So it makes sense why you have to go so far when you think about how the area under the 1/r^2 is really high near the origin and the w^2 * r linear function takes longer to get the same amount of area so you have to integrate pretty far over the crossing point of the functions where the normal geostationary orbit is. It's not even that counterintuitive and doesn't require any crazy math to understand.

Space elevators (on earth) are about as fantastical as fusion power generation. It's the equivalent of some nerd writing on a napkin that theoretically, if you could make this material that no one has actually made, or knows how to make, AND made it in such vast quantities, AND with absolute perfection, AND nothing ever went wrong, you could make a space elevator.

It's a neat idea, but the only remotely possible with current technology mega engineering solution to space flight, is probably a launch loop. Even that has a lot of unsolved engineering problems, and comes with the hilarious fail state of several nuclear bombs worth of kinetic energy dispersing all over the place. It would also come with a price tag measured in trillions.

This is just another science fag that is fishing for funding to be the equivalent of a welfare queen for the duration of their career.
>>
>>541774763
Elevators are a two-way system, no?

What happens when a "visitor" uses the elevator to reach earth? Lets say our atmosphere is the one thing keeping them away.

Space-faring aliens that have always been in space and have never been on another planet might not have technology to withstand Re-entry, an Elevator from Space to the Surface would just be rolling out the red carpet for them.

>>541776776
You are always falling toward the center of the earth. The ground just gets in the way.
Whatever you want to call the attractive force that causes things to move toward each other is irrelevant. We call it gravity. Thats a good a name as anything, and based on the fact that you can hold two bodies apart, and visibly see them move toward each other, we are pretty sure gravity exists. We can even measure the amount of force it exhibits given the known mass of two separate objects.
There is also no such thing as
>Zero gravity
Gravity exists between all objects. Even the tiniest speck of dust a million light years away has a gravitic attraction to you, and you to it. Just given distance * mass that measurement is extremely small.
But, if there were just two particles, trillions of light years a part they would be attracted to each other. And there needs to be variation. If everything was completely uniform, there could be no change, no entropy either.

Agt this point it would be a boondoggle though. Far too expensive and complicated for a disparate earth. But the US could conceivably do a skyhook solo.. Certainly with the EUs help. Might even be a good way to unite China with us as well.
A space elevator would just be a giant target that would be fairly easy for bad actors to get to. The devastation that that much material would wrought on the earth if it collapsed or was sabotage would be utterly catastrophic.
A skyhook isn't attached to the earth at all and is essentially a space station. Even if it did plummet towards the earth, it wouldn't have nearly the negative effects a space elevator would have.

26000 miles is geostationary orbit. Aka the place where 1 orbit matches 1 rotation of the earth. That's where you need to build to have a space elevator.

Generally materials have tension than compression, and tension is self-stabilizing while compression is unstable. So this will likely be a giant rope of sorts, under tension, with the earth's rotation flinging it out.
You have a big mass at the end of it, and the momentum of this mass is enough to lift up the rope and keep it under tension.

Once you have a space elevator, it beclmes extremely cheap to put things in space. Like 95% of the energy requirement of a rocket is saved, meaning we truly become a space faring civilization. This would bring humanity to the next level.
The problem really is, finding a material that can stretch 26000 miles. There are certain advanced carbon alloys that have this property, but the difficulty is manufacturing them at such a scale. Often we can only get microscopic strands

It's an astronomical cable longer than our gravitational field. A large segment of it would be weightless. It stays taut because of the centrifugal force from the spinning earth, the weight wants to fly off into space. This is assuming you can get all this material up there and the cable is strong enough. Then some machine could crawl up and down the cable instead of a rocket landing. Really fascinating idea but seems too sci fi

Higher levels of tech require greater social organization. However we want to ensure this global government becomes more like a "rubric" that defines the rules by which nations interact, rather than a nation unto itself. So like it's the internet that allows websites to exist, rather than the "one website". Today such a global government would be totally corrupted, and probably seek to destroy all nations rather than supporting their life.

Have you ever heard of the two body problem? It's a mathematical model of the deterministic system formed by two massive objects in a field. Your skyhook would fail catastrophically if it has no way to compensate for the force exerted on the orbital station by the spacecraft it's trying to trebuchet into outer space.

We don't need space structures. Satellites do everything one might need. Minig in space will always be much more expensive than on earth. Solar in space will always be much more expensive than panels on land. Ditto for data centers etc . Billionaires will get sick of the view and discomfort in three days and go back to their apartments in Rome. That leaves science projects, but for those every penny counts. NASA would much rather take those countless billions spent on space elevator to fund science expeditions across the solar system for the next 100+ years.

Instead of this being cool what it really will be is a kike owned and operated 66,000 foot favela that will rise so high that it will block out the sun. Residents who live on it can only work on in the favela and spend favela dollars earned by these jobs for goods and services sold to them by the said kikes.

A space elevator would be one of, if not the most valuable technology ever built, only rivaled by things like fusion, AGI, etc.

Creating a space elevator allows humanity to vastly scale up space access at extremely competitive travel prices. This would easily allow for space mining to become feasible. We know of asteroids that contain more metals/precious metals than all the metals we have mined in all human history. There are thousands of these asteroids in our grasp. Not to mention whatever the Moon and Mars has. It would trigger a global golden age. The surface stations of such elevators would have high security.

A single space elevator would easily bring in trillions of dollars of value. Fundamentally changing humanity in one of those profound ways imaginable.

It would also paradoxically loosen the grip on peace because hostile states would no longer need trade and global parties will need to create a new world older to maintain a much more fragile peace among the super powers.

>>541781881
the surface bases would essentially be like heavily fortified military bases/harbours and local states would be involved to help further secure it. Profit sharing is also likely.

There wouldn't really be an easy way to loot because the mining of ore and foundry activities would be in space. The elevator will bring up equipment and ship componenents and bring down ingots of metals, far to heavy for standard nigger brain theft, it would require heavy duty forklifts, cargo trucks, etc. significant logistics. Many will be loaded onto trains and ocean ships.

In theory it's one step closer to luxury space prosperity, but in all likelihood not even in the best case scenario would that be in our lifetime without a major propulsion breakthrough. There's some talk about a functioning solid state impulse drive out of Britain, but so far it's all hypothetical. I don't understand the naysayers about space. If we can actually get out there and back in a meaningful way it means functionally limitless resources. They don't even have to help go get them as long as something does.

No. There is the law of gravity, what goes up must come down, and the theory of gravity that goes into what gravity even is. (Spoiler: we have no fucking idea what it is but we have a couple good guesses)

Spin or linear accelerators don't work for launching spacecraft because the atmosphere is too thick at ground level. Even if you make a spacecraft that can survive the launch, you still need an upper stage rocket to perform a perigee raise burn once you reach apogee.
They could work very well on the moon though.
>>
>>541774763
Sounds good, until you realize Jews will not let Anglos onto this thing and they'll be sending Jaquantarvious and Shakaykay Johnson from Mobile, Alabama to be the first first people to ever ride it. And very likely they'll get into an argument and someone will pull a gun on the way up, blasting a hole through the glass and destroying decades of work. This will somehow be racists fault, btw.

I thought of atmosphere being an issue too, but then thought rockets overcome the atmosphere so it's possible.
Definitely intuited a rocket booster would be needed after rail launch. Might me able to send larger payloads though yo build the rail-runway, rail-way, on the moon.
I suppose having a rail-way in a vacuum would just destroy the craft as soon as it suddenly hits atmosphere, like launching a cannon ball point blank into a pool.
Gauss-rail?
Neat stuff. I kind of wish I got to work on it. I'm starting to read and watch and search about physics/amateur science.
I suppose Mt Everest is off limits for a Gauss-way.

We get cargo to and from space without rockets and rocket fuel. We could make one in and around the ball parkof $400 million and once its up and running, it will make that much money back every year in perpetuity as long as its operational.
