Space Elevator are some of the shittiest fiction possible. The materials required for building something that stretches into space simply do not exist and likely never will.
Dyson Spheres are more likely to happen one day.
Nolan Cruz
We already do have the materials. Graphene and carbon nanotubes are capable however mass producing them is a another story.
Camden Evans
Not even those wizard-level materials could withstand the weight of a structure that stretches 100 kilometers into the atmosphere.
And this structure needs to be capable of lifting tons of cargo up and down, withstand Earthquakes/Wind/Storms/Terrorist Attacks and last at least 100 years.
The Ace Combat world is full of bullshit tech but Space Elevators are above and beyond it all.
Nolan Evans
We already have materials that in theory should be strong enough to build one, the only thing left is a reason to invest money into building one.
A Dyson Sphere is far more likely to be impossible. Even if it was possible, building one seems like a pretty stupid thing to do, there's not enough material in all of the solar system to build the full thing and a swarm would be far more cost effective.

You got some sauce to go with that hot claim of yours?
Kevin Johnson
can u imagine the level of destruction this would unleash if toppled
Asher Clark
Build an arcology instead.
Adam Hall
Halo is such a shit game. Imagine being Bungie and thinking something like this is possible
Angel Johnson
Where? You'd have to put it on the equator. The countries you have to choose from are less than stable
Nolan Smith
sorry dude but we need to fix racism first

Nobody would care because it's Usea and the entire continent is a wasteland anyway. It's the entire plot of the Ace Combat universe.
In Brazil there's a place called Alcântara. It's supposedly the best place on Earth to launch rockets(on top of the equator, geologically and politically stable, sea facing East, etc). Would be a very good candidate for a Space Elevator.
Bentley White
Halo has teleportation and an elevator is what you will complain about?
Lucas Foster
Uh...user....

AND fat assed AI waifu.

>x don`t exist (yet) therefore y isn`t possible
That`s a plebs take, we got a lot of stuff that was previously thought to be impossible, there`s reasons around not thinking a space elevator can be done, but that`s a dumb reason
Blake King
If a space elevator was destroyed part of the tether would fall back on earth and wrap around the equator. It would affect any country in it's path, not just Usea, even if the destruction isn't particularly severe.
Sebastian Bell
The six districts are arranged around the palace, like spokes on a wheel.
Jackson Cruz
The Ace Combat space elevator doesn't stretch that high up I think.
>The International Space Elevator is 100,000 km (~62,137 miles) long from the base on Earth to the top of its cables in space, making it the tallest structure on the planet
It only goes up into the stratosphere, not into geosync orbit. It wouldn't damage much of Usea. Certainly less than the Ulysses meteor.
Luis Perez
>a big cable that extends into space? Nah, that's impossible
>a giant shell around the sun? Yeah, I think we can do this one
And the award of least intelligent post in the thread goes to...
Benjamin Gomez
Actually scratch that, it' 100k kilometers and it does go into geosync orbit. Yeah, it would wreck the world if it toppled. But if it happens we can just blame Belka.
Mason Foster
Wtf happened to the imperial city?
Cameron James
Blame politicians
Andrew Mitchell
>Dyson Sphere
>More likely to happen than a cable that extends 62 miles
Gavin Murphy
62 thousand miles, brainlet. A single, continuous cable. And the entire structure that houses it too.
A Dyson Sphere could be built in parts over a very long time. Of course, building it around the entire star would be impossible but a small part of it is all we need.
Luis Sullivan
Sci-Fi is a trash genre anyway. Don't think about it too hard, schizophrenics. Smell the coffee or whatever in the morning and accept the current reality you live in.
Too much escapism is a bad thing.
Dominic Roberts
The distance between the ground and what is defined as "space" is 62 miles. Why would you need to go 62,000 miles?
Isaac Brown
>Says this on Zig Forums and 4channel in general
Samuel Stewart
The OP is a Halo elevator so I'll complain how I want.
John Jackson
The cable is only stable if you take it all the way to geosync orbit. If you don't know, geosync orbit is where you put satellites so that they are fixed in the sky(relatively to the ground). It's where the GPS satellites are and it's super fucking high up.
Adrian Cruz
The OP is from Ace Combat 7, brainlet.
Gabriel Walker
Isn't that game supposedly a realistic plane simulator? Oh no no no no lmao
William Wright
That's still only 22,000 Miles. Far from the 62,000 you say
Cameron Gray

Grayson Myers
Don't crush tranny's dreams that the singularity is merely fantasy.
Aaron Long
No? Literally every game in the series is about some superweapon protected by a prototype superplane with lasers
Jose Harris
Jeremiah Fisher
Bad troll.
Gavin Price
Build it.
Jonathan Phillips
A space elevator would stay in place through centripetal force, if the tether is too short gravity would just pull the entire thing down to Earth, 62 miles is nowhere near enough. That guy is still a retard for suggesting a Dyson Sphere is somehow more possible than a space elevator though.
Nicholas Lopez
>Dyson Spheres
Oliver Diaz
It's strange realism
Owen Allen
>Is the game where missiles magically reappear on your wings every 5 seconds a simulator?
fuck off retard
Connor Cooper
these already exist
Julian Morales
Even 22k Miles would be impossible. You couldn't make half of that even if it were made of regular PVC, let alone out of some super material that has super-tight production tolerance.
You would have to make 22 thousand miles of cable, made out of this laboratory -tier wizard material with uniform consistency and quality throughout the entire cable. We aren't even remotely close to devising production methods to even begin conceiving making something like that.

FOR SALVATION

Stanford Toruses built using Lunar and asteroidal material when
Liam Brown
Was there really a point to this structure besides the reatrded plot twist? It was hyped in the first trailer, but they barely did anything worthwhile with it in the game.
