fantastic idea, lets throw stuff at planetary bodies at really high speeds and hope that a moving target a few meters in diameter will catch them to avoid disaster or losses..... someone really isnt thinking too much when they make theres animations are they... also its been proven (in laboratory tests using a scale model of the solar system, as well using multiple computer models) that a you can push large objects into the L1/L2/L3/L4 points (LaGrange points) use them as both counterweight and take off/landing platforms in order to make use of fixed cables... it might take a bit more effort to set it up but its a whole hell of a lot safer, the only down side is you might effect the earths rotation speed and you need to place them in each point at the exact same time so as not to effect the tides and other things...

the fact they havent figured out how to build the housing or the material to make the rope from doesnt matter, its still a viable option for bulk movement of materials that isnt going to incure the same penalties as traditional rocket launches do... this also means that things that would otherwise deform/denature at the high g-forces of normal rocket launches will be perfectly fine going up the "slow" skylift… of course its highly likely that a skylift wouldn't actually be that slow, now would it be at risk if its got an energy shield around it... they just need to figure out both energy shielding and artificial gravity (as well as inertial dampening and impulse drives) and then traditional rockets would become obsolete and there will likely be small shuttles capable of jumping to/from orbit for passengers with the funds whilst everyone else takes the cargo lift... much safer ideas than using a tether to catch stuff....

also its been proven (in laboratory tests using a scale model of the solar system, as well using multiple computer models) that a you can push large objects into the L1/L2/L3/L4 points (LaGrange points) use them as both counterweight and take off/landing platforms in order to make use of fixed cables... do u have a nice description of that stuff somewhere ?

description of what stuff ? How the Lagrangian points are used to facilitate space travel. I guess it s quite easy to search for, but easier to ask a well informed sentient being.

I guess it s quite easy to search for, but easier to ask a well informed sentient being. um yeah were clearly thinking about different things, a series of objects of equal mass and size pushed correctly into the LaGrange points would effectively just be "locked" into position relative to the planet, they could then be attached to the planet via tower type structures which could be for core for a space elevator... effectively you would just be putting spokes onto the earth (which would thus become the hub for a wheel...) its obviously mentioned a lot in various sci-fi works since its something there is a lot of data on (thanks to all the lab geeks) and no doubt it will even be used in the future... this helps with space travel only in terms of moving people and goods in bulk from the surface to space... it doesnt magically make it possible for anything else to happen by itself... it also mean getting thing down to the planet are also easier...

The perceptions of how this works seem to be slightly off? The Lagrange points do not “lock” anything in place. A position in a Lagrange point is always unstable. So what's the point then? Well, it's like you need to park a car, without parking brakes, on a big hill that lacks any flat spot. What do you do? - You park it on the top of the hill! Where it's balanced. If it starts rolling in any direction, you will have to push it back into position, before it has gone too far and starts to go fast. So you do need to actively monitor and keep the position, but that is immensely easier and more economical to do on the “top of the hill”, where it needs very little force and energy, than halfway down a steep slope. Obviously, you can't use that position to pull on ropes and stuff. You'd just pull the car out of its position and it would come crashing down the hill. There is no gain to be had there. You would have to spend lots of energy to hold position. It's better to have whatever you pulled on to make it's own way up to you and rendezvous. The advantage of the Lagrange points is exactly that it's a possible place to “park a car” on. Or build a large space station that can remain in space indefinitely, as long as it has small means to correct its position slightly. A Lagrange point is also not geostationary. The Earth rotates in relation to the position.

I always viewed diet soda as a huge redundancy regardless of whether or not it actually works. You might as well just reduce soda consumption all together and drink regular soda in moderation, that way you reduce calorie intake and still get to enjoy a proper tasting soda.

You might as well just reduce soda consumption all together and drink regular soda in moderation, that way you reduce calorie intake and still get to enjoy a proper tasting soda. oddley diet soda is in fact a misnomer, its considered "diet" becasue it has chemical sludge concoction instead of real ingredients, the fact its actually worse for your body than regular sugar is just a cherry on top for the pharma industry who supplies said chemical sludge they use to make the "diet" soda... and yes ive been a fan of getting rid of all these fake food items for decades, not only do they cause harm to the consumers they also taste nasty... yet another area where unlimited capitalism has caused harm to the consumer base, of course its nicer than needing continuous wars to kill off the populace in order to restrain growth numbers so the cabal running everythign behind the scenes tacitly approve of such practices, indeed they use stupid people like Jamie oliver as puppets to act as the turkey voting for Christmas under the guise of "think of the children" to further enhance such... long story short, deaths are required to maintain balance, utopia doesnt exist, and you can have those deaths through continuous poisoning of the population, massed warfare or plagues, as such they are all contrived and delivered to order when necessary...
