Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

Sorry, sum of the forces does not equal zero. Maybe our mechanical brethren would like to take a shot at getting paid.

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

Great, here comes another chapter in ASCE-7 for wind on buildings moving thru the atmosphere!

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

A little bit like "The Fountains of Paradise" by Arthur C. Clarke. Don't knock it, he prophesied geo stationary satellites......

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

I'd work it pro bono in a heartbeat if somebody would be foolish enough to let me try.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

They will have to rename it though to "Architectural Society for Celestial Endeavours".

If you were an architect, why would you even bother wasting your time on this fantasy? The architect must not like getting paid, wasting time on nonsense.

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

The engineer and the architect should be friends.
Oh, the engineer and the architect should be friends.
The architect has his visions great,
the engineer tells him, no way mate,
But that's no reason why they cain't be friends.

Engineering folks should stick together,
Engineering folks should not be fools.
Engineers listen to architects' fancies,
Architects follow the engineers' rules. (repeat)

HSHHFHE... an old expression for some Architects... and begins and ends with "He ...head examined"...

Is it April 1 already?

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

This cannot be real...now I cannot joke about this anymore.

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

The words "Architect" and "reality" are oxymorons.

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

I've seen the concept before as a "Space Elevator" Link basically a rock on the end of a string orbiting the earth in a geosynchronous orbit. It's one of those things that's going to be entirely practical, just as soon as we invent a string that's 100 times stronger than steel, etc., etc.

RE: Well I'll be....uh....hanging around

Would we expect any less?
