A long time ago, in the generations that followed the Great Flood, mankind gathered in the land of Shinar, and they said “Lo,” because people always said stuff like “Lo,” back in those days, “let us come together and speak one language and build a great tower unto heaven.” God looked down and he said “WTF? If these people can do this, there is nothing they won’t be able to do. And he came down from
Tower of Babel
Heaven and screwed them over royally, making everybody speak a different language, so people split and went every which way and the tower did not get built, which pleased God greatly, because that’s just the kind of guy God is.
Now, many thousands of years later, mankind is ready to make another stab at the tower. I am very excited about it. Check out this article for a little bit more of the science and engineering of the Space Elevator.
Space Elevator
I’m just knocked out by the possibility of it. It will become cheap and easy to get supplies and new crew members for the Martian Colony. Shuttlecraft will take off daily to mine the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter. Probes will be sent to Venus, and then ships which can hover in the outer atmosphere and hoover up the atmosphere for rocket fuel. Tourist will transit from there to nearby space stations and the moon. Soon, a chain of luxury hotels will be orbiting the Earth, with zero gravity volley ball courts, zero gravity saunas, zero gravity discotheqes, and much, much more. There is nothing we won’t be able to do.
