Sci-fi plan to hang a wandering skyscraper from asteroid orbiting Earth

[The Omega Concern]

This must be some type of gullibility test on the masses.



Sci-fi plan to hang a wandering skyscraper from asteroid orbiting Earth is unveiled



*Radical skyscraper design from a New York City firm will be built from the sky down, instead of the ground up

*Analemma Tower is set to be suspended from an orbiting asteroid 31,068 miles (50,000 km) above the Earth

*Tower will move in a figure eight pattern between the northern and southern hemispheres each day

*Solar panels will generate power and water will be collected from cloud condensation and rain water

*Building will be broken up into sections, such as business, worship, dining, shopping and entertainment

That's some Jules Verne level shit right there.

[LaBelle]

Thanks but no, thanks.

[LaBelle]

If I could live on the asteroid itself, maybe.

[Run To Me]

I'm callin a big fat Nuh Uh on this bs

[Run To Me]

"An orbiting asteroid"

[FoolofaTook]

Omfg toc. This fits bro. The pattern expands before our very eyes.

Listen: when I broke my leg on dxm i was on parole because of dxm and i wrote some seminal fantasy (on dxm). it was set on Ouranous (sky) a gas giant embedded with asteroids. Into the asteroids cities are carved, such as the upside down Shadrian Imperial city of Aetherius. Zeppelins dragging galleons (instead of sails i pictured frigaytes and galleons and men o war and caravels with zeppelins attached by massive chains) carry the ppl from asteroid to asteroid.

And at the center of the gas giant lies its cold heart: a frozen orbs on which the Arch-sorcerers and Blood Queen Ersebeth Bathory hangs out with her three eyes four horned AND tusked yak.

COINCIDENCE? I ;THINK NOT!

(Dxm)

[Run To Me]

Hmmmm And Tusked Yak. And Tusked Yak.

S'got a ring to it. Could be a band name or whatever

[LaBelle]

I would read that if it was available somewhere.

[FoolofaTook]

I love you.

I should drop some lines on the Dreadknight Sir Therion Wurmsbane, Tip of the Spear of the Goddess of the Moon: Ayesha!

Also the nname of the floating frigate that ferries my heroes around is called THE INEXORABLE. and there is a Lord Abbbath as well.

god i don't love you after all labelle... I love myself!!!

[FoolofaTook]

In all srsness those stories blows so hard it hurts. but I've started the Sinsemillan Chronicle which is much better (less worse really).

[FoolofaTook]

Someday in the foreword to my epic fantasy poem i will thank netphoria

ur welcome

[FoolofaTook]

Have you guys seen Starlight? Its loosely based on the king of elflands daughtrr (uber senescent dunsany novel).

Anyways in it robert deniro plays a gay pirate captain who commands a flying ship. like a litteral ship. that and disneys island at the top of the world (lost vikings! Expiring whales! More vikings) inspired this insanity.

[duovamp]

I'm in. Where's the kickstarter?

[FoolofaTook]

And super mario galaxy really showed me the way.

it looks more like one of those things they'll do everything but build it

also its kind of a waste of time if this isn't an elevator

no elevators, you lazy bastard. here you have the chance to actually walk to an asteroid and mister rhinocerous asks for an elevator.

fine, you suckers can get on the elevator but i'm walking to the asteroid.

wait that is kind of a long walk right? can i get in the elevator?

even the elevator takes kind of long. i get anxiety if i'm in a small room for more than 30 seconds and this elevator ride has already taken 45 seconds and i'm trying not to look at your stupid faces and fuck it i'm pushing the emergency stop button.

one tiny, one square meter elevator to the asteroid where i'm stuck with 7 netphorians. i'm puking. everyone's puking. david hasselhoff is here. i'm slitting his throat. i feel fine again. let's go back up

[LaBelle]

I wanna go to work but my apartment orbited halfway across the globe at night.

There is an elevator that's been conceived for such excursions:

too busy playing baseball right

[LaBelle]

Baseball is like pure physics.
If a ball leaves the pitcher's hand at 150m/s and the batter's hand moves at...
