We’ve been building pipelines, bridges and super tall buildings for decades and have not had a single problem with stability. A cable that is light enough and strong enough should be easy. 🤓😉 But seriously, I’d rather have resources mined from the asteroid belt processes and used in space. Most of it can stay up there and some could be brought down with reusable heat shields and parachutes. We are much closer to processing raw materials in space than creating a space elevator.

Your listening comprehension is quite poor, as he said "started building it ten years ago". Hence, he does _NOT_ indicate when it would be operational or even at what state it would be at now... All he implied is that the foundations and groundwork could have already been set in motion. Bear in mind that most if not all space related projects take years if not decades to complete, so by all means and purposes he _is_ technically correct. Next time don't rush to judge others.

@coreyfreeman6226

Best spot would be at the equator, preferbly a place with not too many earthquakes like the west coast of Africa. or French Guiana and Suriname. The elevator and counterweight would use conductive material for the cable, shielding, grounding And probably an active charge management system to neutralize the charge on the cable and other components. We can also look into diamagnetic levitation of the elevator to reduce strain on the whole structure. We need stronger material development so all weights and movement of the elevator are supported. Nothing is impossible as long as you don't break the laws of physics. We'll get there...My 2 Cents

Skyhooks are what humans will end up making. They’re cheaper, far easier to make without resorting to carbon nanotubes as the only suitable material, and not to mention far, FAR safer. A earth grounded space elevator poses to many different problems with safety. There are far to many unknown elements such as microscopic space debris trajectory and environmental disturbances on a grounded tether. Unless an entire earth based space elevator was covered in a force field from sea level to geostationary orbit they simply cannot work. Regardless how much tensile strength your fancy carbon nanotubes can withstand its helpless against being struck but a 2mm pebble flying at 40,000mph.

@stevenryan9705
@stevenryan9705 Год назад
I just want to call out something nobody has mentioned. The elevator, once in orbit and simultaneously anchored to the Earth, would be "spinning" with the earth. As you get higher in elevation, the speed the elevator has to travel a longer distance compared to the "base" of the elevator. Assuming we figure out the engineering of just keeping the thing from breaking apart from the tension or failing due to heat from friction (no small feat), there is almost nothing that can be done about the unbelievably loud noise that would be generated from the elevator literally cutting through the atmosphere. Also there needs to be studies done on the effects a long antenna sticking up out of the earth, and how it effects our electromagnetic shield that earth uses to deflect harmful radiation from our Sun.

I think they're making it harder than it needs to be. Just use steel cable. Step 1: Get a satellite in geostationary orbit. Step 2: Rocket spools of steel wire up to it until it has the 35700km worth it needs to reach earth. Fasten each new spool to the last to make one long wire. Step 3: Unroll the completed wire down to earth. Step 4: Use "spider" robots to run new wire threads up to the satellite until you've created a massive steel cable under centrifugal tension. Step 5: Build the space elevator using the cable as your foundation.

Quick question. If the cable needs to be that strong to support it's own weight, then it is also under incredible tension. If the ribbon of a cable fibre is damaged by a micrometeorite, what prevents it from explosively failing an damaging the surrounding cable. Do they plan of braiding it or something to prevent a cascading structural failure?

Federal Reserve pumped $120 Billion A MONTH, to prop up bond and stock prices. All the other budgets for science and education are so puny in comparison. Puts things into perspective how America squandered their great privilege of reserve currency to make sure Billionaires stay wealthy.

$1 a gram, and you need 1000 tons to build a space elevator lol. Not happening anytime soon.

Why would you narrate the "what if it was severed" scenario than segue right back to "we should build a space elevator"? Maybe we should first clean up orbiting debris?

I’m excited about the idea of a space elevator, but Edwards lost me at “millions of dollars per pound.” The cost used to be closer to $10,000-$30,000/pound to put stuff in orvit, but are now closer to $1k, thanks in large part to SpaceX and their reusable rocket tech. ~Trav

You forget the cost of the object going to space ie James Webb 10 BILLION (yes BILLION) so he is correct per pound these items can run into millions .

@@ntal5859 The cost of developing and building the satellite and its technology has nothing to do with teh cost of putting it into orbit

He didn't say to orbit though. He said to the moon or to Mars. It is about 100k to send a pound to the moon. About 1 million dollars to send a pound to Mars.

And the elevator would start here at ground level on Earth? Would it be able to withstand earthquakes? Hurricanes? How would it affect air travel? I mean planes would have to fly around it, needless to say.

Not the Bloomberg Quicktake quality I expect, sorry. It is too short, too superficial and not really new.

even if space elevater can be built from an altitude of 100 km above earth surface to 1000km in space it will change the space travel without facing the heavy winds in upper atmosphere.
