What if we didn’t sync the earth and moon rotation, but instead when we run the cable from the earth to the moon, we attach that cable to a little train car that runs on a track all the way around the earth? The moon will pull the car around and it would have generators on it to get the electricity.
I assume the little train car will quickly become a wrecking ball, leaving a band around the earth where you can’t build anything and also if you go there you might randomly get absolutely FUCKED by a swinging train car.
I see this as an absolute win, it could have a livestream like the 11 foot 8 bridge
I don’t know. Isn’t that how you start third impact?
The first step can be avoided if harpoon is shot from South or North Pole (or from both).
I do love that tidal power is actually just moon power. I think we should call it that more often.
Lunar power, to accompany solar power.
We should just syphon all the water out of the ocean, put it in a giant still and use a massive rocket to move it near the sun.
Now we have unlimited steam energy and way more land to build things on. Winning!
