AU Cloud has proposed an idea for the world’s ‘tallest building’ which would hang upside down from an asteroid 😳
The structure would only be accesible by drones, and the highest inhabitable point sits at 32,000m.
Do you think this could actually happen? 🤔

HOW BOUT HELL NO
Jesus is coming so why would they build that in Dubai seriously
Everyone would need to buy helicopters get up there😂
Anyone also check me
Too much debris and space junk for this to work
Imagine giving flint Michigan water
😂
Ok if it sat in a perfectly still orbit, ok the physics checks out, just good luck moving an asteroid heavy enough. But in the figure 8 pattern proposed the part of the building within the atmosphere would experience re-entry level catastrophic atmospheric heating, and the drag would de-orbit it. It'd have to be in an orbit where it stays in one spot perfectly still.
What is wind resistance.
Yeah and i made a concept of a building on the sun. It will work because Im gonna make some cool CGI of it... Please be less gullible and think about things, yeah?
There's no feasible way to get a hanging orbital skyscraper like that. It would be ludicrously expensive to even build on an asteroid not to mention even getting an asteroid to orbit earth that way or at all. And they're not considering the wind resistance that would cause the orbit to slow down and have the building crash down onto earth. As cool of an idea as it is, it's just plain stupid to try building something like this. It's not cost effective at all.
How to make a building reverse 911 and destroy the world 😂
Corny engineering
That’s dumb
Can we just get walkable cit?Is and fix our traffic issues?
