This is hilariously stupid to the point I feel like I'm reading an onion article. No one would approve this because it's catastrophically dangerous and I don't see how they could even make this with any form of structural integrity.

Not to mention dragging an asteroid into low Earth orbit.

>>15370033
>>15370088
>>15370097
Just like Zeon's planning process.

First they need to drag an asteroid to Earth, around 50000km from the Earth. No one in their sane mind would do that.

Also,

Maybe if they can deorbit themselves somehow on their own first.

Not him, but seriously...
This thing would make an insurance agent's head explode, to say nothing of building inspectors and code compliance. This concept is the exact opposite of safety in every conceivable fashion. Whoever came up with this thing has no concept of national sovereignty, territorial airspace, air traffic control, and they may not even understand the concept of altitude above sea level. Manhattan island is 1,000' above sea level. There's a mountain in Arizona that's 12,000', and a mountain in Nepal that's 29,000'. So to be able to avoid smacking into Everest, you're going to be "touring" New York from a height of over five miles.

>>15370013
Man, this thing would be an actual weapon if constructed, it would fly at such ludicrous speeds it would kill anyone inside it and destroy any city caught in its path, if it doesn't get pulverized when they build half of it

For fucking real? An architectural nightmare of an undertaking and it won't even have a heliport or something of the kind?

For that matter move in a figure 8? Do you understand the speed that would require it to move at? not to mention the asteroid and the part closest to the earth would have to move at such varying speeds.

Even if it was geosynchronous, the amount of research require to ensure the mass added by the structure wouldn't just pull the meteor to the earth...

This is a joke, right? Every time I think of a problem, ten more problems pop into my head and go "us too!"

More than a logistics nightmare, this is like a terrorist's wet dream. Its literally a mass annihilation device.

>>15373348
I've actually heard that's one reason economists are worried about space mining--it could play havoc with prices (and therefore the economy). Isn't there an asteroid nearby that has like 10 times as much platinum, by itself, as exists in all of planet Earth? Unless demand skyrockets by a proportional account, we could end up with a situation where industries revolving around heavy metal are ruined because platinum, gold, etc. are cheaper than dirt.

The yardsticks by which we should measure whether something is stupidly amazing or amazingly stupid must change with the era. To say nothing of the fact that this concept tower is presented as a final product when no prototypes of its kind have ever been theorized, let alone built.

Back then playing with fire merely killed a gibbering creche in a cave. Having a diddle with this tower will see killscores surpassing the expected average population of a typical First World capital city.

By the time we have the technology to bring in the asteroid central to this plan within a reasonable timeframe, the technology to nudge it out of stable orbit would most definitely not be exclusive to the rich and well-funded.

In summary, stop running off the cliff with feathers taped to your arms you crazy fuck.

>>15374707
Nah, that's just standard left wing stuff. Liberals glorify victimhood as something to aspire to, so to them that isn't actually absurd.

>>15374833
I don't understand the conservative fear and disgust with victimhood. As if someone should be ashamed of being on the losing end of the whims of the universe. Being in constant terror of, "It could happen to you!" is really the domain of people who haven't had it happen to them yet (which is a privilege :^))

>>15374842
The problem is that liberals blow victimhood out of proportion, and only sympathize with people tgey feel like sympathizing with. For example, men are much more likely to get attacked when walking down the street at night, yet liberals claim "boo hoo, women are so scared when they walk outside at night that they might get attacked. Men totally don't have to worry about that. #feminism #SmashThePatriarchy." Bullshit. Someone worrying more over a less existent threat doesn't make them more of a victim than someone who has more of a threat but just doesn't give a fuck.

>>15374875
I was trying to figure out which of the three ways I have of responding to this I should go with. Take your pick:

>Actually, I think it's the opposite. Conservatives blow shit out of proportion or blame scapegoats but never own up when they were wrong about what was going wrong or whose fault it was. For example, the whole, "white people are dying deaths of despair," thing when they're still dying less than comparable minorities, among other things.

>Is that really true? Like, how big is the disparity? Do you consider whether the ability to defend oneself enters into the occasion? Not that assumptions about that based on gender aren't outmoded.

>How old are you?

>>15374772
You know as some one who is a architect, there are days where its boring as shit.

Then there are things like this I can just draw and have it be stupid shit.

>>15374875
>For example, men are much more likely to get attacked when walking down the street at night

No that research is misinterpreted. Women are more likely to be attacked at night due to intimate crimes like sexual assault, rape or domestic abuse. Men are more likely to be attacked at night due to theft and murder/homicide.

There is no data or research conducted on rate of overall crime at night because the research done was specific to circumstance. I.e. i can use that same study to say women have a higher chance of being attacked at night because my data pool was counting rape but the men's study was not.

What you should have cited is that between 1976-2005, US men were more than three times as likely to be murdered than US women were. Among the men who got murdered over the last thirty-something years, 15.5% were murdered by strangers, as compared to women (who are murdered by strangers 8.7% of the time). So if you are talking about probability of being killed by a stranger, US men are the victims at a rate of about six to one.

>>15374956
I never said conservatives don't blow things out of proportion as well. I would actually consider myself more liberal, I just don't agree with a lot of the rediculous things that some other liberals spout. According to the "Violent Victimization Committed by Strangers, 1993-2010," (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/vvcs9310.pdf) "The rate of violence against males by strangers was 9.5 victimizations per 1,000 males in 2010 compared to 4.7 victimizations per 1,000 females." I'm pretty sure there's been more recent studies as well. As for ability to defend oneself, not knowing how to defend yourself is completely irrelevant to gender. Anyone can take a self-defense course or carry a weapon (depending on where you live, that is, for the latter).

Anyways, we were talking about skyscrapers being colony dropped on Earth, correct? This IS /m/ and not /pol/ after all.

>>15374993
This just, ironically, goes to his point about blowing things out of proportion. In both cases, you're FAR more likely to be murdered by someone you know. Do we know the stats on inter-gender murders? Like, do men kill women less than women kill men? Because, if not, hooboy; maybe that #smashthepatriarchy thing has some merit.

It's almost as if women are horrible excuses of sapient beings.
The only 'fucking' I want with women is telling them to fuck off so they can't somehow cheat me out of my money and get me in jail over false rape accusations just to protect their pride with their equally vapid and bitchy girlfriends. They don't deserve mechs, or machines in general.

>>15375336
Its purpose is to show why architects need to talk to engineers occasionally.

>>15375365
It turns out the monolith is part of an ancient scheme made by equally ancient super massive necromorphic moons made from convergences to make more massive necromorphic moons, and the reason why there are no aliens in DS is because THEY ALL KEEP FALLING INTO THE SAME TRAP

All signs point to them being some sort of strange necro parasitic psychic thing, no angst, just using species as a food and reproduction source.

How does the 10 mile tall worship section get used anyway? That's a lot of fucking worship. Do they jam in a church for every major religion in there, or is it more a couple of megachurches with mile high cielings, and stained glass built to withstand micrometeorites and supersonic impacts with weather balloons and shit?

Or maybe it's host to one major cult, particular to the tower, that houses a scale model of their horrifying cyclopean god? It's all living people below the house of worship, and dead people above.

Also, there's apparently no infrastructure at GTO, which is odd since it's the point where you could just release something into a stable orbit, albient a ridiculous 40 degree inclined one.

Gotta love their giant rock which isn't actually in an orbit (the tower orbits at it's center of mass at GTO, the rock is swung around as a counterbalance to the rest of it. It's sweeping right through the disposal orbit for the geosynchronous satellite belt, and since it's not in an orbit itself, it's not moving the same speed as them. Dead satellites can't dodge out of the way.

>Those thin cabels
Yes I know. Even if they're made of sturdy material that can withhold the mega structure, I still have doubt since primal fear, bud. I can't explain it.

>>15377437
Visually, each of those cables is about 1/10 the thickness of the actual building. Though I doubt it's to scale, you cannot say the cables in that image are thin.

>>15377437

In the early 1800's most people wouldn't have trusted trains because of the speed they move at, in the early 1900s most people wouldn't have trusted cars for the same reason. Nowadays most people don't trust automated cars. It's the same story with planes (I don't trust that it'll stay up) and even with steel and glass as building materials (how can something so relatively thin hold up so much weight). You don't trust things you don't have experience of. Positive experience breeds trust and eventually indifference. You say you can't trust them now, but if such a thing existed and you knew, either through experience or cultural osmosis that they could stand up to a variety of stresses you wouldn't even think about trusting them. The people who didn't would be branded as having some kind of phobia, an irrational distrust of something there's no real reason to distrust.

>>15377512
>In the early 1800's most people wouldn't have trusted trains because of the speed they move at
They only moved at 30 mph max. Horse and buggy was about 15 mph. By comparison, a ship was much faster.
>It's the same story with planes
Planes had a really high mortality and failure rate in those days.

>>15377536

And yet 30mph was faster than most people trusted a vehicle to travel at. I don't think most sea vehicles travelled much faster than that back them. A lot of them don't travel much faster nowadays, because achieving speed on water is much harder. Also, mortality and accidents on plane journeys was quite high early on, especially for single/twin seater planes - but those issues were mostly sorted out after about two decades or so once flying really became accepted and passenger air travel became commonplace.

>>15372856
Looks like someone played Symphony of the Night a bit too much.

>let's turn a tower upside down so literally, we'll put it in the sky

>>15377548
>And yet 30mph was faster than most people trusted a vehicle to travel at.
Not really. There really wasn't a fear of trains.
>I don't think most sea vehicles travelled much faster than that back them.
Barquentines generally traveled at about 20 mph. And 30 mph was the max speed of trains back then, not the average. The average was probably closer to 15 or 20 mph. By comparison, the average bicycle speed is a little under 10 mph.
>once flying really became accepted
Flying had been around quite a while before planes and blimps were generally considered safer, albeit slower.

>>15377512
>through experience or cultural osmosis that they could stand up to a variety of stresses you wouldn't even think about trusting them. The people who didn't would be branded as having some kind of phobia, an irrational distrust of something there's no real reason to distrust.
and then one day you find yourself playing dead space in real life as random victim #214351

Just imagine, after attending the funeral for the 666th coworker you've lost this month for undisclosed reasons, you take a 5 days long elevator trip back to your apartment. Once you get there, you'll have 3 hours to feed yourself and sleep, so you can slave away at the workstations, hoping to earn enough money to both a trip to the sacred airlock to the outside world and a hallowed parachute with which to touch the ground of your ancestors again.

>>15378580
Just look at how much more they went after Trump, far more than they ever went after Clinton even though she's far more ridiculous than he is. If they were actually just a comedy piece they would go after the two equally. But no, instead they're just as partisan as the actual MSM.

>>15378580
Well the largest shareholder is Univision, which was decidedly pro-Clinton anti-Trump during the election cycle.

>>15379006
Clinton was crooked, corrupt and under FBI investigation, that's true; but she was a fucking politician, that's nothing weird about that.
Trump instead is obviously a much bigger satire target seeing as he was a fucking reality show celebrity with an orange tan running for president with promises such as a huge wall against Mexico and deporting muslims.
Hillary, as much as I don't like her never said such ridiculous stuff.

I'm still happier Trump won because of all the triggered libtards though.

>>15379042
> Hillary, as much as I don't like her never said such ridiculous stuff.
She literally boasted about how she was going to put coal miners out of work and talked about starting WW3. What the fuck did Trump say that was anywhere near that ridiculous?

>>15379067

Didn't she follow the coal miner thing immediately by saying she'd bring in other employment opportunities because coal was going? No idea about the WWIII thing since very never seen that line. Also that anon just gave a few examples, but he also talked about boycotting Apple while using an iPhone, goaded Russian hackers to attack people he didn't like, started the birthed shit with Obama and then repeatedly denied it. I think there might even be video evidence of that one.

It's the getting very tough on Russia and Syria in Syrian airspace line from what one of the debates IIRC. It was shortly after some general went before Congress and said the US taking over Syrian airspace would mean war with Russia and Syria.

At least that's what I think that anon is talking about.

Nope.

http://thefederalist.com/2016/03/14/hillary-clinton-has-a-message-for-coal-miners-youre-fired/
> During CNN’s Democratic townhall event in Ohio on Sunday night, Hillary Clinton said she wants to move away from using coal as an energy source — even if it means eliminating jobs in the process.
> “We’re gonna put a lot of coal miners and coal companies outta business,” Clinton said.

January 15, 2157. It was that faithful day that the Analemma fell. Nobody expected it. Nobody saw it coming. But when the terrorist space probe destroyed the cable that was keeping us up, I knew that there was only one thing left to do--- CLIMB THE TOWER. I had first ended up on the Analemma 5 years ago, when I had been hired by SuperScience Z to design production model Gundams for military use. Like everyone else working on the Analemma, I stayed here, slept here, lived here. You see, there were only 2 ways off this monstrosity in the sky, a parachute or the escape pods in the top, so naturally, most people stayed here. It wasn't so bad. We got nice housing, a large salary, and there was even a Taco Bell on ground floor. But when the email arrived in my inbox on that day, that life that I loved so much was thrown out the window. "Dear inhabitants, we have crashed a plane through the cable that holds your fortress afloat. Soon, you shall fall, sending your 50 km of metal crashing into New York City below AND WE AT ROBOTECHX ALL LAUGHING. Sincerely Jim." That is what the email read, and that was what alerted us of our impending doom.

>>15379092

the birther shit was started by the Clinton campaign during the 2008 Democrat primary

>>15379266

The line is a lot less malicious or ridiculous when viewed in full context, given that she says she wants to replace coal jobs with other employment opportunities.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ksIXqxpQNt0

>>15379275

No, it wasn't. Fringe Clinton supporters parroted it, but neither Clinton or her campaign started or echoed it.

They were basically an arm of the Clinton campaign, so it's not surprising they would jump to her defense.

>>15379267
As soon as the email was received, word quickly spread across the room, and soon, everyone in the room had turned to the TV to see if it was really true. And to our horror, it was. The entire room was dead silent. Rubert was the first one to brake the silence. "OH GOD, WE'RE ALL GONNA FUCKING DIE!" As soon as he said that, the entire room erupted with screams of terror. I was in shock, and people had started running to the transfer station to parachute to safety below. But they were all fools. Even if they escaped to below, they would merely be crushed by the tower. There was only one way out: the escape pods at the top. I quickly ran to the elevator, and pressed the up button. In about one minute, the elevator arrived. From it exited 25 people, all packed in the elevator intended to hold 15. Me and one other person who had arrived while I was waiting boarded the elevator. The other person was a girl with long, blond hair. She had a beautiful face, and a rockin' body, but this was no time to be ogling girls. I pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator began to rise. The elevator's were extremely fast, and could scale the tower in around five minutes. Ka'thump, ka'thump. Ka'thump, ka'thump. Ka'thump, ka'thump. Screeeeeeeeech, thump. After traveling upward for nearly two and a half minutes, the elevator screeched to a halt. The door didn't open. Suddenly, I heard my phone beep. I pulled out my phone, and the girl with me did too. It was an email. A great sense of despair suddenly fell over me. I opened it. "Dear inhabitants, we have shut down the elevators in your beloved tower. There is now no escape AND WE AT MACROSSX ALL LAUGHING. Sincerely, Jim."

>>15379407

Of course. After all, anyone who verifies anything.she says is on the pay. I'm sure there's plenty of evidence she started it however.

>>15379422

And fact checking is heavily based on reality, which, as we all know, has a clear liberal bias.

>>15376618
>Or maybe it's host to one major cult, particular to the tower
SU-CORD!
(dumbest religion EVER)

>>15379407
She was literally recorded on camera as saying that right after the first comment, you could go check it yourself if you want to.

>>15379419
The girl next to me collapsed to the ground.
"OOOOOHHHH NOOOOOO! I can no longer use my secret technique of running away!" she said.
"Is this really the right time for a Jojo reference?"
"It's always the right time for a Jojo reference! But oh god, I can't die here, I'm still to young."
I busted open the elevator's roof and climbed up.
"Then come on, let's escape."
I reached my hand out for her. She took it and I pulled her up. I began to climb up the elevator shaft, and she followed. The faster elevators only had stops every 10 floors. Luckily, we were only 1 floor away from the top of the Residential Sector. The next door should lead to the Monument Sector, which is where what we need to escape is. I climbed up to the ledge and forced open the elevator door. I dropped to the ground, and offered my hand to the girl.
"Grab on."
She reached out, but her grip loosened, and she began to fall.
"Ah!"
I quickly reached down and grabbed her hand. Her hand firmly grasped my arm. I pulled her up with all my might and eventually, we made it.
"Even here, we will still die."
"No, your wrong. There's something here that will help us."
We walked past the monuments of human civilization until, finally, we reached the one I was looking for. The first prototype Gundam. That thing was too big to be called a relic. Too big, too thick, too bulky. It was more like a monument to modern human civilization, and therefore it had been stored as such. Of course, the prototype was still functional as well. It's battery had taken a toll over the years, but we could still expect to get five or so minutes out of it. That should be enough to get to the top. So me and the girl got in the cockpit, and began our ascent.

>>15370013
This is bullshit, aerodynamics alone makes this an impossibility without

>>15370013
>plot twist, it's actually a divine/demonic sword planned to cut Earth in half

>>15379664
The cockpit was cramped for two people, but we made do. It was around then that we felt the shockwave from the impact. They shook the Gundam and knocked it over.
"Gah!"
Slam!
"Now how are we going to get up?"
"Please, not one would design a robot that can't get itself back up off the ground."
To be honest, I had never piloted one of these things before, but I sure as hell knew how to from five years of designing them. I quickly got it back on it's feet and began to jump upwards. The earlier models weren't equipped with flying capabilities, but luckily they did have boosters to assist in jumping, so I was forced to jump from floor to floor. We soon entered the Religion Sector. As soon as we entered it, I could see people praying to their gods that they would be all right. When we entered, most of them stopped and ran, I even heard someone scream "SATAN!!!!!"
Tch, don't just sit there and pray, if you want to live, than do something about it. We then entered the Reliquary Sector, were relics of value were stored. Millions of dollars of relics, not that it mattered anymore. Finally, we entered the Funerary Sector. This is where the dead bodies were stored. Since people lived on the Analemma, people also died there. Since it was too expensive to send them back to Earth and too risky to just drop them, the bodies were sent here to rot for an eternity. Well, at least until now. Now they would be incinerated in the hellfires of this god forsaken building.

>>15379774
Just when we were nearly at the top, almost to our endgame, the Gundam died.
"Shit!" I exclaimed. I quickly exited the Gundam and dropped to the ground. The girl followed. The room we were in reeked of death. It made me want to vomit. We found our way to the stairs, which we ascended to the top and final floor. Here is where the escape pods were. We had finally made it.
"Yes!"
But then, to my horror, I realized that there were no pods left.
"Shit!" I exclaimed. All this way for nothing. The girl quickly realized why I was mad.
"Wha- What do we do now?"
"We die," I answered grimly.
I walked back to the staircase. At the end of it was a ladder. I ascended the ladder and popped the hatch on the top. I exited to the top of the tower and walked to my left. The girl had followed me and was now standing next to me. I held her hand. In the distant sky, I could see a cloud in the shape of a warrior. At its helm was the sun, acting as a head. It was Cloudizer. Truly it was a magnificent sight.

It's a big tower that comes from space instead of going into space, instead of being a useful solution to space travel that'll save billions in fuel in the long run it's a complete waste of money and resources, and instead of being an engineer's wet dream it's an absolute nightmare.

Ok but neither of those things is unusual for a politician. Maybe you're too young for remember, but before we found out about nuclear winter, a lot of politicians saw nuclear war as an option on the table with more possibility than just "fuck no". Again, that's the thing, Hillary in the end is just a politician. It's why people didn't vote for her to begin with, because someone just like every other politician screwing them wasn't going to fix their problems.

Either way, the Obama years showed that the Onion wasn't afraid of making fun of him, because even if that's controversial in the "you can't make fun of the first black president" outrage sense, it got them views. The profit motive often overrides political loyalty when it comes to companies.
