>>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 work, including New York City (pictured) - all in just a 24 hour orbital cycle.<<

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 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???

Technically it would be an “orbital skyhook” with an “cardio orbit”

Imagine an orbital decline of the asteroid and this thing smashes into the side of Mt. Everest at 1000mph.

Cue Sci-Fi movie...
