Universal Orbital Support System (UOSS). Originally touted by Engineering has the Unlikely, Altitude Support System. Luckily, marketing stepped in.

Everyone calm down. Remember, the Arabs were great contributors to math and science

15,000 of vertical space for a reliquary?are reserved for a reliquary section and a funerary section.
You know: for all the Iron Workers who died hanging the thing.

An “A” for a high school science project. An “F” for a real world blueprint.

Sure. This thing is a complete crock. Anyone who has ever run up in the man lift on a new ‘Tower’ would laugh their butt’s off on this entire premise. Plus this from the old days as we greeted each other on site.........’DLD’ baby..(D)on’t (L)ook D()own!!!! It was a long time ago. My old legs shake just looking at new hi-rise photos!

Oh jeez. Anyone that understands orbital mechanics would know instantly why this idea is borderline retarded.
Anything that is in orbit is in an equilibrium between its forward velocity and freefall towards the center of the gravity well. Dropping an anchor into the atmosphere would be one of the quickest ways imaginable to destroy that equilibrium.
Why is always the people who don’t seem to have bothered to learn basic science that want to tell the rest of us we should “aim high”? Learn the basics first before you try that, or you’re going to shoot yourself in the foot.
