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://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.

If that's true, pitch it to Trump ASAP. Although, it sounds too good to be true.

They fail to mention that the cost will be several trillion dollars and take several decades to build if not a century.

That is until the wind start blowing.

I do not have access to the Trump administration but one could guess that perhaps he has already received a pitch.
Why he has not pursued such an idea is beyond me. One thing is for certain, however. The best way to make something like this is by memeing it into existence.
You must pierce the social fabric and make people desire it. Most anons, I feel, are not appreciative of the power of memes and what they can accomplish when used correctly.

You again? Have you come to bother us with your autism once more? Are you a turbo sperg or just a shill? You got BTFO the last time so you come back months later to push this shit again?

So much this.

It is true and very feasible.
It's just that the man who owns this project will own the world

This is only just the beginning.
The Space Elevator one will WILL become a REALITY. It is simply a matter of time.
Before that happens, however, the overton window must be expanded sufficiently for the idea to become accepted.
As a great saying goes:

You bring an interesting point by mentioning the weather.
The location of where this Space Elevator must be built is extremely important.
You cannot simply build one in a location that has a ton of storms as that will damage the elevator itself. Because of this, the current proposals envision the elevator be built somewhere of the Western coast of Ecuador, a region that has minimal storms and weather fluctuations.
Additionally, the elevator would be situated on the ocean and its position could be slightly altered at will in order to avoid contact with any space debris.
