Radical skyscraper design from a New York City firm will be built from the sky down instead of the ground up Analemma Tower is set to be suspended from an orbiting asteroid 31,068 miles (50,000 km) above the Earth Tower will move in a figure eight pattern between the northern and southern hemispheres each day Solar panels will generate power and water will be collected from cloud condensation and rain water Building will be broken up into sections, such as business, worship, dining, shopping and entertainment
A New York architecture firm has unveiled designs for a skyscraper that is out of this world.
Deemed the ‘world’s tallest building ever’, Analemma Tower will be suspended from an orbiting asteroid 31,068 miles (50,000 km) above the Earth– and the only way to leave is by parachute.
The orbital path would swing the tower in a figure eight pattern between the northern and southern hemispheres each day, taking residents on a tour through different parts of the world - all in just a 24 hour orbital cycle.

Where will the sewage go- could pull stunt like Dave Mason band in chicago
Or even this (same idea from ST-TOS):
Nonsense. Who pays for a firm to design stuff like this as well as their Mars House?
Load it up with libs. Nuke it from orbit. All is well in the land again...

It will be moving 1,000 MPH. Hard to sightsee and if in the atmosphere it will rip the building from its moorings.
Um. No.
That’s the cloud city of Stratos from a Star Trek original series episode. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
>>It will be moving 1,000 MPH. Hard to sightsee and if in the atmosphere it will rip the building from its moorings.
Yeah, I don’t see how atmospheric pressure differences allow this to happen even if geostationary.

How do you take your dog for a walk?
What do you do in case of fire?
This is the most a$$hole idea ever invented.
I imagine the windows won’t open. Could be a heck of a draft.
How will they set up the area for worship?? With that orbit changing direction so much, how will they be able to know which direction Mecca is???
What could possibly go wrong?
Prayer rug on a turntable.................
And the first time it passes through a hurricane.....
Load it up with libs
cut the cables
>>how will they be able to know which direction Mecca is???>>
Put ‘em on the roof with a sundial.
So, you pound a stake into a rock in space and tie a rope to it and build a skyscraper on the end of the rope.
Sounds like a big tire swing.
