If you ignore the entire Antarctic Treaty and decide to build there, what would be the effects of have a space elevator reach out to space from the bottom of the planet as opposed to the equator? Wha ...

Rock melts too, but if we reach that temperature, it doesn't matter anymore.

I never said it would be easy, or cheap. Would you live in the s ...

Imagine taking any great area of the world and stacking 6000 replicas on top of it. That is the magnitude of which I am speaking - a waterfall that falls naturally for 42000 ft and is 32000 ft wide - ...

By the way, whenever I talk about carefully calculated costs, I'm going to use -nice flowers- from now on. Very Happy

I've already thought infrastructure through. Infrastructure is the main component of the city.

By the way, the city is a self-supporting country, not a colony attached to any current country. For ...

I have ideas as well. I want to build a single city-state nearly completely underground. The city shall be able to encompass hundreds of millions of lives. There shall be no automobiles - you shall ...

Or maybe they're pl ...

No, I am not suggesting it will be made of ice. Import whatever materials you need. The budget is already astronomical. And no matter what, there will always be technical logistical barriers.

Antarctica's crust is 20 miles deep on average. 105,600 feet. (Sorry, I don't know metric. All my calculations are in feet. If somebody has a good online converter, let me know.)

If a "story" was ...

What would happen if you palced it at the bottom of the world? Antarctica? How would that simply change everything? Antarctica is a no-man's land. No country would allow another country to get this ...

What is Archiplanet.

Thank you in advance.

I would first like to say I'm not an architect. I a sailor. I have no formal training across any type of field. What I've learned is from reading material I've hunted down. All I have is my creati ...
