I have an idea for making America grow again. Wade fully into the exploration of space. I say we should construct buildings of about 63 to 64 miles in height, which I believe is the altitude needed for geosynchronous orbit. I understand that there are dilemmas with constructing buildings of this magnitude such as materials management, technology, and viability compared to other forms of space launching. I know the idea of a space elevator is also popular for getting goods into space, and I am not saying we shouldn’t also look into that, and we should also launch nuclear rockets. I feel the huge amount of materials needed for building these buildings will be expensive, but it isn’t as if we would be using rare earth elements. We should be able to carry it off. There are those would complain that these buildings would take too long to construct. I disagree. While it would take a long time to build, I believe it would be good because it would be a boon of employment for construction workers, engineers, and scientists, as well as all the peripheral jobs needed to complete this mission. It might also boost our schools much like the early missions of NASA to visit the Moon. I know that President Obama tried to invigorate the economy early in his term by giving money for road work, much as his predecessor had done after the great depression. The problem with President Obama’s program and the reason it didn’t work is that we are in the twenty-first century, and the infrastructure he was repairing was of the twentieth-century. We do not need a band-aid program to repair that infrastructure, but rather a new program to construct an infrastructure for the twenty-first century. I believe constructing at least one of these buildings would be vital for that infrastructure even if space elevators prove to be better.
