Daily reminder that the only real Red Pill is the Space Elevator Pill.

-----------------------

We can build an Orbital Ring Space Elevator today, using steel and kevlar. The Orbital Ring goes to low earth orbit, so it does not need advanced materials.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qezLhypA0Y

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_ring

Why build the Orbital Ring? It would cut our costs of going to orbit from about $2000/kg to about $1/kg. There are individual asteroids that have tens of trillions of dollars in materials on them that could be mined. One mission could easily pay for the cost of building the Orbital Ring.

We could then deploy solar power satellites in orbit above cloud cover and return the power back to the surface with near zero loss by running power transmission cables down the elevator, and sell the power at a profit.

With increased luminosity in space, enhanced exposure time, and the ability to deliver base loads, solar panels pay for themselves in only 1-2 years while having a 20 year life time.

In other words, if you put $5 trillion of solar panels into space, you get your $5 trillion back by the end of year two and a $5 trillion income stream each year thereafter.

In other words, the US could cut everyone's taxes, both personal and business, income, capital, death, or otherwise, all to 0%, not even cut any benefits or current spending, and pay off the national debt within a decade.

They wouldn't since it has the potential to generate huge return on investment capable of ending taxation and provide a basic universal income for the people of this country.

For safety reasons the earth-end of the elevator needs to be on a moving platform...hence the choice of the ocean platform. This way you can slightly shift the position of the elevator in case you have nearby objects in space that could collide with it.

Secondly, the heat should not be a problem. The current proposed location does not have any strong weather patterns like thunderstorms that could severely damage the elevator.

Politics affects people. The Space Elevator has the potential to generate huge returns on investment and radically transform our world.

The tower of Babel is nothing more than an analogy of an event that is used to divide people.

This is central to what the Old World Order believes. Keep the people divided and fighting amongst each other.

Well no longer. The Space Elevator will usher an era of prosperity that not even the lowest of the Old World Order scum will be able to stop.

In the story of the tower of Babel "God" is angered by the fact that the people have come together to build something greater.

The "God" of the old testament, however, is an envious creature and decides to divide the people, strip them of a common language, and watch them succumb to division.

Its a common theme of the Old Testament. In it, you have a vengeful god who issues arbitrary punishment, promotes the concealment of knowledge, and wishes for the people to be divided.

The complete opposite of the New Testament. But I am digressing....

heres the thing about this though. You start bringing large masses of precious metals and such from asteroids to earth and either the economy of every country will crash overnight or we will have such an abundance of prosperity and abundance of energy that we will overdevelope ourselves to death.

The story is about people coming together and but it results in God taking away their common language so they lose the ability to communicate with each other.It's a what, 4k-year-old book? they didn't know why it happens, they were just telling a story of it happening

If that's not a parable for modern America you're not paying attention
