Sci-Fi author here...

[BakersfieldChimp]

Arthur got the idea from a Russian born in the 19th century. As far as I know Clake never claimed to have come up with the concept himself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Tsiolkovsky

The idea has always fascinated me. A structure that's foundation is in a solid fixed orbit and connects to the planet. The massive amounts of energy needed to launch rockets out of our atmosphere would be reduced to a fraction.

The SFWA and their army of hack writers insist that sci-fi is solely a reflection of modern times. Moral fables about our own society hung on the backdrop 'In spaaace'. It can be, sure. But that's not what ALL sci-fi is. Or at least was....because let's face it, it is now.

Patrick is an obese primate.

I should have said 'popularized', probably.

It's a great idea and NASA should just hire Pat to oversee the construction of one because, after all, he's an expert.

He doesn’t even have a college degree yet since he writes nonsense like “space Chili’s” believes he’s on the same level as a scientist. The delusions of the pig need to be studied by doctors.

I would never feel qualified to comment on or correct others publicly like pat does and I'm demonstrably more educated, having taken actual college level science courses. He's a fat dimwit is what I'm getting at

The idea of a space elevator was first used in fiction writing by Arthur C. Clarke, a great author but Hugo award winning PEDOPHILE, in his book "The Fountains of Paradise". The drawing that Pat is replying to is exactly how the elevator is described in the book. The only difference is the elevator in the book was placed on top of a mountain in an island nation near the equator, not the flat landscape of Florida.

For some reason Pat thinks he is an authority on the topic of a space elevator. He probably read someone elses take and just repeats it like its his original thought.

Turn the clock back far enough and you see that he had to ask twitter for the answer. Pat is a phony LARPing "intellectual"

“Earth herself” shut your fat mouth, pig.
