  • Hmmm.. Elavator? What if like a astriod hits it by accident does it fall back into planet earth! :D?

  • we need to make space fortresses and within those fortresses make space schools, where we can learn and study the galaxy and then travel so far into the universe that we all die because we get pwned by a black hole, sounds nice right?

  • @CYNCY24 floride is a better option than chloride, which is carcinogenic-just dont do what the Chilean government did and take it out of the water supply, boy did they regret that...

  • Hopefully, nanotech medicine will not only be kinder & safer & gentler to the human body, this kind of technology will also be kinder & gentler to the average wage earner's wallet as well.

  • so we drink water and drink nanotech thingies.will they fuck up our body?

  • Time triggered human death via nano tech in bottled water and public water supply.

  • Heroic victory against nature.

  • this is very dangerous if nano microbes could multiply on their own and be discharged into the enviroment no one knows what the long term effects could be .tread lightly with this sort of science they can even make nanomads that can destroy the body on purpose dont think for a second that the government and military have over looked the endless posibilities of this technology .i read about this in scientific american years ago so its not new

  • @rolficus

    Well by that point we would be able to use good nano microbes to consume and erase the spontaneous rapidly multiplying ones from the environment and from the body.

  • Crysis :D

    Yeah is Cool .. 4 guys don't know what is future ..

  • @splatonlineTV strange thing is, i know what youre talking about.

  • im in the future right now

  • There is an inventor here in Quebec who build a machine than turns sewer water into drinking water within a few minutes, and his machines uses the same amout of electricity that of a toaster. Last Ive heard he was planning on selling his machine 3000$ a piece....one machine is enough to make clean water for a small village of a few hundred persons. Sorry, dont have the name.

  • this could be used as a weapon

  • Wow, this new bio-engineered Bear Grills is a genius!

  • that is what this kind of technology should be used for. not for keeping track of mans every move or for use in debilitating anothers mind or for biological warfare.

  • @83dirtychris but sadly theres better ways to cure cancer and other health issues withouth the need of this technology, the roblem with Humans is that they look in the wrong places. but is nce to know technology will keep advancing for good and bad of humans

    

  • @simonheros um our world is already polluted

  • No i mean so polluted that it ends up like the Pixar movie Wall-e

  • @folly4444 what do you mean? Years ago people used too think computers and TVs were science fiction. Now look at modern day...we have computers and TVs.

  • @Civfan26 We are in the FUTURE. We talk on screens and drive round cars.

  • taci ma in pula mea

  • what where do u have that nonesense from

  • ah man that sucks mate. i can see why u have some of ur certain thoughts. its hard for us to understand what ur goin through over there.

    every country deserves to have free rights. sounds pretty bad over there mate. sorry to hear. :(

  • Good hope for all is a rare thing to find in this rediculous world mate. it is desperately needed thats for sure. alot of things need to change

  • ok all good then. i too am sorry to hear of ur situation pally.

    and yes. good things in life are hard to come by. more people need to think about the good things, not always the bad like alot of people do!

    go study, and ur fiery attutude may serve u well over there. well... here's hopin anyway! loggin off now too, goodnight u two. beer and halo 3 here i come baby yea!

  • yea thats great. but fighting someone on youtube for a comment he made isnt going to achieve that is it? LIFE FUCKING SUCKS! things suck all over the place. one of my tutors was a dick, but hey! u went on this huge crusade of yours against a poor happy bloke minding his own biz making his lil light hearted comment of his.

    we all agree that shit in life has to change. but right here, right now at this time, we arent affecting it. right? this arguement is going way off track. will u drop it now?

  • *sigh* i thought we were finally coming eye to eye here. or close too it, enough to just let things go.. but nooooo, u have to start something else up again... *roll eyes* not talkin about makin anyone see or not see truth, u are throwing new things in again. like we came to before, i said something, u thought i meant more, u said something, got my back up , u got urs up, we just chilled the situaiton. and u want to go on more again? i always hope for good mate. just keepin an open mind.

  • yea we know u helped bring us together, and in the end we all learnt something about something and abit about each other. thats why we are asking u to join in our toast. u were involved in our debate/arguement. so we invite u to join. as a mate we now know more about. time to move on i reckon. yea? share a toast with us now? oh yea, where are ya from anyway matey?

  • yea what the hell is this controlling people bullcrap? dont u think this lil shitfight has gone on long enough? we have opened ourselves up to now and u want to go on some more? if you do go on. people will really see how pathetic u really are trying to be. people will come on, see u apologised, they accepted then u crap on about something else. not a good image. seriosuly now its time to drop it. arikon has explained himself, u have explained urself, its over. Now have a freakin drink! LOL

  • look really pally. i read his first comment, i read it after what you said... how the fuck is he trying to be smart or acting like he knows everything?? where the hell do you get that from? i certainly dont. he said something funny, even said the other devices are cool. then said something that he thought might go wrong. and now that he's said it, it makes me pretty worried too, that something will go wrong somewhere. speaking of "special", i think you are, and not the cool kind. retard!

  • i'm pretty sure tv once showed sci fi as ppl in space.. .and wait whats that? we actually put ppl in space? no way! ... the thing about life is ANYTHING can happen. i suppose if i said, hmmm i think there is a chance aliens will turn up one day and blow us away like pests... you'll start going on that i think i'm trying to act like i know all about space? cause thats basically what u did. i said nano's could kill, u retaliated. ?? if u just said, "nah man i dont think so." i'd be "hopefully! :D"

  • i'm not a dick mate. i'm the kind of guy that would like to see us after all this crazy debate. shake hands, understand each other and walk away.

    but u seem so set on making out that just because i'm as u call "uneducated" i cant say what i think about some technology. then u go on a crusade about it? really mate. its time to grow some pubes, grow up and face the fact that people will say things u dont like or may even come across a certain way. its just life. sometimes just walk away is best.

  • walk away as in, just ignore it. so what if they sound like a dick, if they really do come across as it, ppl will notice it anyway. it doesnt need to be broadcasted and shamed. which is what you tried to do. u tried to make me look stupid. and thats why i have my back up and saying these things back. liek i said. if you just said something like "nah man that'll never happen have faith in our scientists man!" i told ya, i'd be wide open to you. just things go bad sometimes,thats all i pointed out

  • yea man, i think its time you called it quits pallyman. the points been made. you took something simple too far and look what you started. once again i must remind you how shallow and so fucking stupid you look dude. nothing u say will clean ur image up on here. i reckon u owe Arikon an apology dickweed. he obviously isnt ur normal youtube flamewar starter. u fired up at an innocent watcher pally. and we all frown and look at you. would u accept an apology Arikon?

  • eh. doubt he'd give me one anyway! but yea. i guess after all this, i'd forgive forget and move on. like i said so many times. he has his right to his opinions about nano's, but he should never have had a go at me. still pissed at that.

  • hey listen fuckhead. neither Arikon or me said anything about not going ahead with any nano shit. where the fuck are u getting this from? are u just shitting out of ur mouth?

    who the fuck needs facts to think something could go wrong. worry is a human trait god damn it. he said he saw something on tv. so what? i didnt see it and just the idea of nanos fucking up is fucking scary!

    he even said he hope it works! what the fuck is wrong with u? u really are thick u know.

  • ok woah rockin. i think u need a chill pill mate, i appreciate the support but woah buddy!

    Pally mate. i accept. shit happens aye. i just said something that worried me, whether isaw it on tv or came up with it myself, i'd still be scared of it.

    like i said, i hope it works, i just worry. being a lil cautious never hurts. and yes,, lots of shit on the media sucks balls. they over do things it shits me to tears too.

  • thats the aussie spirit we like to see! chillin sounds good, i think a nice cold beer would do wonders for me.

    we all sorted then guys? can i go and enjoy my drink and u 2 lil bastards will behave urselves?!?!

    Folklore here stats thats arguements are settled with a fight then ya both share a coldie together! god i love australia!

  • lol at the comment "are u shitting out of ur mouth" ill have to remember that one! where'd u come up with that?

    and yea, i might have a beer too! Pally, if u got one go have one too! Hahaha, one of the best true aussie traditions, beer after a scuffle. be better if it was a scorchin hot day like yesterday, it would go down heaps smoother!

  • oh dear.... pally... u'll get him goin again :S

  • i'll say this once... and once only pally... i swear like thta when someone really pisses me off. i tell u know i have no intellectual problems. whatsoever! although i wasnt too keen on home ec! i cant cook for shit! but other then that, i asure u, i have brains. now we'll end this annoying little scuffle. shall we? as adults! and as arikon said, lets celebrate the end of this problem with a drink, whether it be a beer, whiskey, vodka whatever! Cheers guys for a good firing up. made me lively!

  • oh dear... pally man is throwing bigger images in then need be... champion of humanity is it now? lol. nah just someone who knows whats fair. and drama queen?? none of this wouldve started if u kept ur mouth shut about me. u started the scene buddy boy. going on about me not having a moral right to an opinion. who the hell says that? thats goin a lil over the top dont u think? thats drama queen stuff :P "waaa! waaaa! he said something i dont like so i'm gonna try and call him out waaa!" lol

  • um ok... what stats tells you that no scientist would post on youtube? i'm fairly certain new guys out of studies would stay doing things they did through college or uni? he didnt even say he was a scientist, he said he only studied there. (if its true of course, like i said nothings for certain online! sorry rockin but its true mate) i dont have vanity in me, i just said what i thought at the time. which for the millionth time. i have every right to say as i want, are u thick or just retarded?

  • my god he's still tryin. paly just give up now. i'm telling u from another point of view, u look like a dickhead trying to clever. seriosuly, thats all u like like, and the more u comment, the more u are making arikon look better. and yea... where the fuck do u get "Champion of humanity" what fucked up cartoons have you been watching lately? i dont think he's thick Arikon. i think he was dropped on head, then kicked out the door. sad sad little man pally. seriously, u look terrible on here.

  • woooh buddy. i'm standing up for the rights of everyone not just my own. and tell me... how the hell did i start my comment on the wrong issue??? it was a light hearted comment with something that i thought COULD become a problem. not saying yep. we're all screwed, this is the worst idea ever.... u sir are really starting to piss me off. ur stubborness is only match by ur inadiquite ability to see reason. its like ur purposely going out of ur way to start a fight.

  • and my comment was about nano technology.... i'm sorry i forgot... ur psychic arent u! of couuuuuuuuuuuurse u are! u know that nothing COULD ever go wrong. that my one comment about something that kinda concerns me, is totally 100% false and unworthy. if u are Uneducated like me as u admit u are... then ur opinion is unworthy too. like seriously? i'm standing up for a common cause, while u are standing up for...?? what exactly?? ur argueing because u think i'm uneducated? who are u?

  • you actually know nothing about who i am. so let me tell u lil bit about myself... i think u suck, ur a drop out and have nothing better to do then start useless fights with randoms on the internet. thats all u really need to know about me. after all is said and done. u too are a nobody trying to sound clever, trying to put someone down. and u are failing miserably. i am not deterred in anyway, neither am i impressed. tell me now... what is ur area of expertise?

  • anyone could come on here and say, hah ur dumb, i'm a scientist, i studied this and i studied that... but in the end, ur still a douchebag starting a fight with a random.. and that sir is a pathetic trait to have. how sad it must be for u to roam youtube and try to insult ppl for a comment they are free to post. have all the rights in the world to have their say. it doesnt matter who u are in the world, u have no right to say i or anyone else for that matter cant think how i want to think.

  • holy shit lol! what have i come into to?

    ok look i read everything thats been said here...

    paladinsuckscocksanddicks... Shut the fuck up you fuckin wanker! Who the fuck do you think you are? "i'm uneducated too blah blah blah!" so what the fuck do you know? go shove ya elites up ya fucking ass like u like it. those fucking elites as you call them made nuclear power, then they used it to fucking blow japan up!

    Arikon dude is standing up for all of us to say what we want! so just fuck off now

  • and just so both of you know, i only joined so i could tell penisadin here how much you pissed me off. i went to uni, and i find Arikon's idea of nanobots going haywire interesting. that would scare the shit out of me too! imagine something so small we couldnt see it, but its destroying everything in sight? we'd be pretty fucked then. once again paladinwanker. shut the fuck up, i'm on Arikon's side as i'm sure many other people are. oh and FYI i was studying bio-chemistry. so suck it.

  • Ahaha bit fired up there rockin! cheers for the support mate.

    i think my brother was doing bio something too. he went to canberra to finish off. he's a few years younger then u though. i must admit, i saw his work and it tripped me out, i had no idea what the i was lookin at! lol look like some maze puzzle lol. i can be clever sometimes... but i pale in comparason to his mind.

  • yea it takes a good while to learn it all.

    smart man your brother must be. you didnt follow in his steps? you seem pretty smart and down to earth.

  • no no, i was in his shadow most of my life. so i moved on to a working career after i finished school. he's now a Dr i think. havent seen him in ages cause he moved interstate. pretty sure he's finished?? or about to be. oh look, pally's talkin again..

  • me speaking big and having an ego! what a laugh! i'm the first one to admit i dont have what u call and "elite" education! LOL who the hell calls it an elite education anyway? only ones who think they are vastly superior, thus = ego! my first comment was actually light hearted, bit of a giggle, and then u come along with ur "Elite" speeches lol. and when did i say it was all bad? like everything, things can be use for good and bad.. doesnt take a genius to figure that one out. called history.

  • i can be wrong. hell i'd be so glad to see it work out all good and i'll Phew, glad i was wrong! but heres some news for ya mr "ELITE but i dont have and ego, u do" pfft! maybe if u just shut ya mouth and let ppl have their say, u wouldnt be dealing with so many of ur debates. there are billions of ppl in this world with their own free thinking minds. u cant tell ppl how to think. i wasnt trying to be big, i'm just fighting for my freedom of speech. u have urs, and i have my thoughts. simple.

  • whether one is educated or not buddy, we can as we please. whether its right or wrong. thats the beauty of the internet. if u cant handle that simple fact, then u should sit at home playing with a deck of cards and leaving the rest of us to our own devices. you started this war, not i. u chose to make a comment that i found unreasonable. u decided not to attack my comment about the nano, u decided to make a comment about me personally. and i dont take kindly to it, nor would others.

  • calling one uneducated shows how high ur ego stands. like we're lower then u? and then u go on about me having an ego? anyone that reads this would see that. i'mna simple bloke from sydney. ranked high in all my studies without trying or studying. so i'm not stupid. not the most intelligent by any means, but still stayed well above average. i'm the kind of person that thinks openly, something as advanced as nano technology can easily be used poorly. hopefully not! but always a possibility.

  • i would also like to point out a slip in my comments, after re-reading it i see u also said quote: "common people like ""us"" should try to learn before forming an opinion" u are merely over supporting these elites. still... ur out of line abit. in the end my point is, u have ur thoughts, fine, say what u think about the nano tech. but if you are sick of these debates... then dont freakin start them! shut the hell up and mind your own biz.

  • yet it is the Elite that have allowed some of most powerful weaponary to fall into the wrong hands, and then it is us non-elites that suffer and pay the price.  yes these elite can create cures and wonderful things, but it is also the elite that create death, destruction and suffering, so u'll have to forgive me for not having much faith in these so called elites that think they know all they need to know. sometimes the most humble peasant thought, can create the greatest of changes.

  • i have no certificates, but i have enough common sense to know humans mess shit up, all the time. we may get there in the end. i also know that this technology will one day end up in the wrong hands, then the destruction caused will be no accident.

    i need no certificates for an opinion, that is my mortal right as a living being. your shallowness is another reason humans are destined to be destroyed. the inability to understand or be open to another's concern will lead to a blind sighted death.

  • and yea, i actually couldnt really imagine them deciding to mount up and make something visable, they'll just stick to their programing and replicate, as nanobots. unless we humans are stupid enough to give them the artificial intelligence to think for themselves without control. which is always possible with our neglectful history.

  • thats one huge elevator! u'd be pretty screwed if u got so far up it and the poewr went out or the lift got stuck...

    Firefighters and/or rescue crews would have one hell of a job on their hands!

    other nano devices are cool

    my other concern is replication! i saw one day on tv they want to impliment them to replicate themselves.... i dont think thats a good idea! malfunction then bam! they'll replicte themselves uncontrollably and wipe out life! and they're too small to shoot or zap! .... yea....

  • lso, if they group together to make something that we can see, easily. We. Are. fucked.

  • My dad is a nano scientist.. and I visited his lab and it was cool... he turned mastic into water,completely remove smell off an ammonia and other wicked things..... Too bad his business is too poor to get an interview like this.

  • nano suit here we come!

  • The problem with the Elevator is: Earth got rotation speed and athmosphere and gravitation pull... Outerspace got no speed, no athmosphere and no gravitational pull, so it'll rip apart in half... The Cancer killin' and water purifyin' parts are great ideas (sorry for my English)

  • Is it me or does this happen Metal Gear Solid before it started Nano Wars!!

    LOL THAT WOULD BE FREAKIN' SCARY!

  • Any way it would be cool just think of that elevator falling over!

    BAM!

    Ouchey that hurt!

    That would freaking hurt!

    But the other stuff would be awsome!

  • A space elevator may be good by it would be a eye saw and emadgin that some one blow it up at the bottom the timg would probly wrap right round earth and what happens if it stops half way to the space station what ya gon do jump out!

  • space elevator threw me off

  • the reason fluoridated water is good for your teeth is because your teeth are MADE of fluoride minerals. basically what happens is that the fluoride will; for example you have just chipped your tooth, the fluoride will go into the chipped part and literally rebuild the tooth over time.

  • I'm tired of hearing about the stupid space elevators, even if they worked as good as theoretically possible they would still suck compared to the other options.

  • Old Snake "Nanomachines?"

  • ya...thats what my toothpaste is for, you dont eat fluoride

    and Jefferson said the only reason for the people to EVER need government is to protect our rights......so why do they have their hands on everything?

    We been in deep shit since the Fed reserve act of 1913

  • Too much flouride can make you sterile. >=)

  • 60% of america is fluoridated water

    wtf.........

  • I meant flourine. x.x

    My bad.

  • @TylerIsHackinCool too much oxigen can kill you.

    whats the point of ur comment?

  • @MrKandamo IDFK. I posted that comment around a year ago.

  • @TylerIsHackinCool so? whats the point of both of ur comments?

    u took ur time to look at my response, but u couldnt tell more than an evasive answer.

  • @MrKandamo hey stfu

  • @TylerIsHackinCool stupid kid. get education

  • @MrKandamo Silly person, stop trying to get in an argument with a "kid"

  • @TylerIsHackinCool i left the argument when i knew u were like a kid.

    i even tried to give you an advice ''get education''.

  • @MrKandamo left the argument yet you're still making replies about something that occured over a year ago. nice.

  • @TylerIsHackinCool i was just making it clear for you.

    dont even answer. i wont look any reply coming from you.

  • @MrKandamo glad we're finally getting a clue.

  • the swine flu has a lower death rate than regular flu so...

  • nanotech can clean water? Yet they continue to feed us fluoridated water......

    nanotechnologies in the swine flu vaccine attacking peoples brain neurons???

    wow this aint a joke please wake up people and investigate your govenment

  • Especially when we don't need a vaccine for swine flu....

  • its a huge scam

    i just got over the swine flu and its not even that bad

  • space elevator should be made into a drop tower ride. What kind of speeds could that thing reach. Your guts would come out your nose?

  • YAY!!! XD lol (guts outta nose)

  • The politics come around to follow through on such concepts.

  • of course nibirhu exists. By may 2011 all people from earth will be able to see the red moon that is planet x. But dont think we are all going to die. This planet has passed through our orbit 1,000's of times since earth was first created

  • but remember around the time it passed there was a huge flood that all cultures history show that there was once a huge flood so what if the giant planet causes a flood like how the moon does?

  • i dont think the government is that corrupt

  • yea the elevator thing is gonna take like a month or more to reach to the top

  • sounds like gundam 00!

  • is there really any of it? micro, nano robots, are they really exist? 2012 ? can they work on that day? sorry guys i was just curious

  • nanosoft the new microsoft XD

  • amazing.... we have gone a long way...

  • wonderous!

  • I think this idea would never happen, nano technology would be to expensive to clean water, think how much a liter would cost, and how many nanobots you would need, totaly unconventional, curing cancer seem pluasable to me though, space tether seems like a space monkey could make that idea up, I rather spend the money to make better things like reflective solar panel satelites that beam energy down in a wave so it powers my space craft or stores the energy on the ground so the ground powers it.

  • who said it has to be robots when there is gen-manipulation?

  • exactly

  • D*mn ads.

  • Wow , how swine flue? aletered viruses. Could be a good project dont you think?

  • he's a cool professor, but i still dont get it.

    what's nano tech? in simple english???

    anyone?

  • really really small scale technology... think of a machine for example, and then think of it being really small and compact.

  • hey, thanks buddy..

    that's helpful..

    it started to wiggling my small scale brain when i watched DOOM, there's some way saying about nano-jump..

    thanks

  • no problem. you can get more info if you try wikipedia or simply googling nano technology.

    cheers.

  • thanks again buddy

  • sure, anytime.

  • nano tech

  • small robots very small to the cellular lvl maybe smaller

  • it will be usefull for the maletary!!!

  • A space elevator might actually be highly relevant to the average person. You could install highly efficient solar cells and pipe the energy back through the elevator. However, we will see how reasonable that is compared to just sending the energy down in high energy waves. Also, for those interested in the field, its generally reffed to as "materials engineering" (nano-tech is a branch of this field)

  • i agree, the space elevator wouldn't benefit the average citizen. Why not put nano tech for good use like human upgrading, Like finding away to make us smarter would using nano tech would be awsom. then everything we do from then on would be a bit easier

  • all in good time. :) great time to be alive huh? ^_^

  • It may not benefit us now, but do you think you could find a efficient way of escaping the earths atmosphere? When humanity actually starts colonizing other planets a space elevator would be excessively useful for ferrying raw materials into orbit to construct ships. Then it would benefit the average citizen :)

  • building ships in orbit is nearly impossible and finding a planet that can be colonized is hard too, but if we were smarter then it wouldnt be as hard now would it?

  • Seriously, nano tech IS cool...but....can we please PLEASE stop the talk of the "Space Elevator". That's the corniest idea I've ever heard. And look at the artist rendition at 1:57 it looks so stupid coming from that beautiful planet of ours...it'll look like a blue balloon with a string. Earth will be the laughing stock of the Milky Way. 'Cept for Planet X, those guys are just crazy lol :^). Seriously though, enuff wit da Elevator to the Heavens, remember what happened to the last people! Bible

  • would you preffer a stairway? XD takes 20 years to get to space VIA stairway to space.... trillions upon trillions of steps XD!!! epic workout!!

  • if we treat cancer and other diseases, besides murder what else will stop the ever growing population of the earth. every 60 years the earth doubles population

  • u would have to make an elevator travel at the speed of light so it goes to the sattelite fast and easily

  • but then again who talked about speed? the elevator will be used by nasa probably and they would have moving rooms perhaps so you could live in them until you get there... they will probably be easier and cheaper to use than rockets imo...

  • they could be used to transport material too =]

  • but for human transport..... Who wants to live in an elevator?

  • haha true true, i guess ya...

    but then again if they make it spacious enough then i'm willing too xD

  • You don't fucking live in it any more than you would live on the shuttle's boosters.

  • MORGELLONS DISEASE!

  • Nanosuit, here I come!!

  • I hope your willing to pay the price tag.

  • Heh, I would do anything to get a nanosuit if it does things like in Crysis. (Enhance muscles, deflect impacts, increase speed/agility, regenerate health(Yay, you would live forever if it constantly repairs your body!).)

    Doubt that would happen in my lifetime though.

  • So far we have carbon nano tubes which are revolutionary in that they allow for softer bike seats... so, yay.

  • This world's going down the tubes, but they're carbon nanotubes, so that's actually a good thing!

  • the japs want to build that elevator...

  • woulden't it be just as easy to evaporate the "dirty" water in something like a giant greenhouse and have the roof angled to let the condensed "clean" water flow away... just a thought!

  • That is incredibly slow... and to do something like that on a large scale would take up a lot of space as well. Modern desalination plants use reverse osmosis and membranes to clean the water faster. Nanotechnology could make this faster and more energy-efficient in the future though

  • Yes, and that's exactly how it's done in poor African countries, on what scale I don't know though. But it's not cost efficient in Western countries.

  • there is no "cure" for cancer

    you can only stop cancer for breaking out so much that it dies on its own

  • ... actually cancer CAN be cured, except current methods aren't efficient since they sually kill healthy cells to...

    like chemothereamy

    radiothereapy

    etc etc...

    these technologies theoretically target the cancer cells to kill them, but they kill healthy cells in the way...

    thata's where nanotechnology comes in... through the unique characteristics of tumor cells, they will be detected and destroyed...

  • thats crazy talk.. quick to the choppa!

  • If the elevator only moves as fast as the one in my local mall, it could taking fuckin' months to reach a satellite.

  • That's not far from the mark. These elevators would be transports from ground to geostationary orbit, a trip of about 26,000 miles. Yes it would take quite a while at any likely speed.

    But if cable strong enough for the job can be made, these things will almost certainly be built. That's where the nanotechnology comes in.

    It's a big if.

  • Comment removed

  • your a halo freak, you would think of that

  • elevator????

  • ELEVATOR FTW!!!

  • what would that elevator ride be like,? FUNFUNFUN!!!!!!!!!

  • cure cancer that would be good :(

  • that elevator is the dumbest idea i have ever heard... besides the cubs winning anything in the next hundred years

  • I believe it was Arthur C. Clarke who came up with the concept. He also said, that such a device will be built, as soon as everyone stops laughing.

  • Really? Even if I told you I wanted to light my nutsack on fire and punch it until it's extinguished? Huh? HUH?

  • it wont be your regular metal like steal or iron but a carbon material and since carbon is very abondunt then its easy now get that supply is prety hard like you said

  • I go to the University of Saskatchawen and our space design team has placed 1st in the world in NASA's space elevator competition, among prestigous schools such as MIT and the like, we've won nearly 500,000 dollars and are striving for the grand prize of one million!

  • And I am King of the North Pole.

  • no, just uninformed :(

  • and i am king of the south pole, that makes us enemies! I will bring the north pole lower then the south pole... MUAHAHAHAHAHA

  • they are building one rigth now,,, right?

  • Will this technology give me superhuman powers, if not, SHUT YOUR TELEVISION MOUTH UP!. Damn dream-crusher.

  • lol...

  • If they make space elevators.... They can also terraform Mars too!

  • Unfortunately, probably not.

    The biggest and least solvable problem w/ Mars is its lack of a strong magnetic field. Its surface is easily bombarded w/ cosmic and solar radiation. This is not a problem we can likely ever solve for the entire planet.

    Cheers

  • It was a joke that I doubt that space elevators are really possible.

  • Unless we can find some way to inject iron into the core somehow.

  • It has to be an escalator to space so you can spit over the side.
