OT: About Space Elevators

[disabled]

My concern is what if they can't move it away from the hurricane in time.

A project like that is going to be measured in the hundreds of trillions price tag and with gov't buying, they'll make 2 and 3x the price.

I also think they will come up with a self-clibing mechanism to pull stuff up. Sure it's slower, but we can slap an italian sticker on it and say it's romantic.
