Nobody’s going to want that thing overhead, so that garbage can be tossed out of it onto their heads from a mile up.
That thing is a missile target if ever there was one. I’d give it 90 days in actual operation before people start shooting things at it.
Can we really build something that can keep an asteroid in a stable orbit without eventually being pulled in by gravity?
Stupid.
So how are they going to handle customs when it enters another countries airspace. Are they going to have customs agents following it to make sure nothing is dropped out a window?
Never mind all the issues that need to be ironed out like carbon-nanotube cabling, how would the plumbing work in a building like this? You can’t connect it to a city sewerage system.
Parachutes would have sold like hotcakes at the top of the World Trade Center on 9/11 . . .
this is going to be built in 10 years right when the immortality pill AI and mars mission will be happening. Always 10 years. Oh and cancer cure

Totally absurd, bogus story.
Laputa redux. This is straight out of the third voyage of Gulliver. And just as ridiculous.
Just like intergalactic flight, this idea is possible but not likely.
Yeah? And how to they plan on getting you there to your apartment? And where do you park the car?? Stupid.
How you gonna effect the ever changing density - gravity of the asteroid and maintain it in proper orbit? And positioning it so the bottom of the tower is only a few hundred feet above the surface?
Call me skeptical but I never thought that Hillary would win the presidential election in November either.
The cable alone, once it penetrates the atmosphere would be more than enough to bring the entire satellite back down to the ground.
This is what liberal run education system gets you.... idiocy like this... and the designer got paid for it.
I’m sure they thought about how the tether would steer clear of all of the geo-synchronous satellites buzzing around the Earth...
The most collossaly stupid idea ever.
Spend the resources on a space elevator instead.

I recently completed the book SevenEves by Neal Stephenson. It involved detailed description of this type of system, and systems for connecting a suspended city to earth for transfer of people and goods, so you don’t have to parachute out to go back to earth. If anyone is interested in this topic, it would be a good read.
So who will underwrite liability?
