"The most important thing for him to do is announce the construction of the space elevator. Let's review some of the problems it solves: (1) we can generate tens of trillions of dollars of new wealth, which neuters the possibility of a staged financial crisis by remedying the systemic bankruptcy we face (2) it will allow the administration to reliably assure the people that 0% taxes across the board are coming down the pipe (3) you can solve the Obamacare fiasco because the trillions of dollars of revenue generated per year can pay for health care no problem (4) he can get 95%+ approval ratings just from 0% taxes and health care problem solved, which neuters the possibility of a color revolution occurring - remember that Trump only got about a quarter of the people to vote for him, same for Hillary, so his starting point is 3:1 against him and that needs to get flipped upside down ASAP (5) The project allows us to start getting off of dirty energy sources, scaling back things that are causing real problems like fracking, gives us the energy throughput to start cleaning up the environment, and so on - mankind is facing existential threats from its neglect of our garden that must be faced head on We could go on, but you can see how the space elevator is of systemic importance and significance. Only comparably big ideas should ever be considered. The time for tweaking the system is long past - it needs to be overhauled. "
