The science is sound and has been talked about by engineers and technologists for the last couple of decades. Unfortunately, I don't see anything coming from this because of politics (it can't be built in anyone's district).

The science is sound

Only the orbital science.

Yeah if we could only make everything at the equator of the Earth the 51 state or states. Talk about your gerrymandering wheww. It would be like a bunch starved pit bulls fighting over a dead cat to get in that action. Didn't Snoopdog want a company to make a video game where pit bulls turn into humans then into pimps. Maybe he should check out politics. But I digress.

It actually can't be built anywhere in the US. It would need to be built on or close to the equator.
