With all the talk of Greenland I thought I'd introduce my Spacetower Project. It sounds crazy 15 million feet tall or 5000 km tall. It sounds impossible but the way we can make it work is by starting with a massive 500 km base and the perfect place for it I think is Greenland.
I was thinking of turning it into a simulation game to show people how it could be done. It would also be a great addition to my mars rings project. I started designing the game but it's a lot of work. I was looking for a corporate space sounding name and decided on Axis.
Anyways, I've done several chats with chatGPT on it and it does confirm it is possible. Actually almost inevitable even with the insane cost. In all it comes to about 1000 trillion but that includes like 200 trillion for the mars ring program.
In the end, money = work. So it's basically just a lot of work. But we do have 8 billion people, and just 50 million volunteers could get the job done over 30 years perhaps. I know its nuts but it would reduce the fuel cost to send resources into space. But more importantly, it would provide a slow lift into space option over a 24 hour for example. So people wouldn't have to endure high G forces.
Combine with outpost along the multiple paths to mars, it would open up space to everyone. Anyways, it's crazy to imagine it I know but it's something to think about.
In the video, I move around trying to see how much of the tower would be seen from different places on earth. Also it would be built totally by robotic platforms. Factories pumping out cubes, trains transporting to site with rails dividing to supply a hundred sections. Even the ice would be removed and partially replaced as a kind of ballast. A lot of it shipped and sold. Floating the cubes in insulated containers across oceans if viable.
On the logo you'll see a pyramid shape that could be used. Basically, I calculated that some of the structure could be removed since they were only supporting the edges that were not needed I think. But I forget the exact logic now. Probably in my saved chats somewhere. Basically, I think you get the same load spreading benefits with less cubes needed. But it would be the same height not squashed like it is on the logo. Anyways, chatGPT said it was good but who knows.
Note: It's at 1000 to 1 scale in sketchup. Ring ships might not be at scale. I didn't edit the video at all so it's kind of long for nothing.
