Any chance I get to be in a thread that's not the general where it's "ur da nazi", "no ur da jew" all fucking day is nice.

Genuinely interested in the topic of the thread (Space Elevator, not really the cuckchan stuff), and think it'd be a comfy place to discuss space shit.

This is a good article on it:

Maybe Dangling a Space Elevator Off the Moon Isn’t as Ludicrous as It Sounds

 

The basic idea behind a space elevator is to do away with the pesky requirement of carrying all that fuel with you…by building a giant cable and climbing up it. This isn’t as ludicrous as it sounds.

 

Imagine such a cable, extending into space with an orbiting counterweight, which could be an asteroid or a space station, on the end of it. Just like in a game of tetherball, the (apparent) centrifugal force from that orbiting counterweight as it rotates around the Earth pulls the rope taut. If the cable is long enough, that centrifugal force can be enough to support the weight of the cable, suspending it: a vast elevator to the sky.

 

Once you have this elevator to space, robotic “climbers” on the outside crawl up the rope. You can send payloads into low Earth orbit, geostationary orbit, or further out into space—all just by choosing how far to climb. If the tower is tall enough, simply letting go at the top flings you into deep space, escaping Earth’s orbit entirely.

 

Regardless of the design, the economics of the space elevator always look glorious: sending mass into low Earth orbit could be reduced from $10,000 per pound to $400 per pound. Some estimate that an elevator could be constructed for as little as $6 billion. Compare this to the space shuttle program, which cost a total of $209 billion by one estimate.

$6 billion is fucking NOTHING, especially for this where paying to use it would be so expensive.

I agree, it's just really annoying and has hurt the effectiveness of the general breads. And like I said a vast majority of the general threads are not even about Q or even current events or politics.

Some don't understand /qresearch/ started basically as a /Qpol/ almost.

Exactly. We actually work A LOT with the Russians on Space. We can't even get to the ISS without them for now (working on our own capsules). But the muh russia russia russia bullshit was a way to try and start WW3 via the Sum of All Fears.

Like many are openly talking about which the left hates, the Chinese are the foremost threat to the USA and I think the Space Force is mostly to address them and not Russia.

And of course not to mention all the truly communist subversion they do politically and culturally.

That video starts with what seems like an elevator to the Moon, I don't think that'd be needed at all if an elevator could be done to an orbital ring or even a port in orbit. The main feature of the elevator would to have shuttles and rockets IN space to start with, not on Earth thereby saving a fuck ton of money.
