do u think we can build a massive structure, so big as to reach to the moon?

Question

just imagine this thing, with all modern equipment



do not forget to star me if u like, please

Answer 1

If we did, it would take a long time and a lot of materials. Lets forget the facts that there is no atmosphere in space to protect us form X-rays, UV rays and all that other stuff. Plus no air to breath and no gravity, etc. Lets over look that and examine the real question.
The foundation of this building would have to literally be the size of the State of Texas to support it. The wind would blow it down. Maybe even a meteor would hit it and topple it. We would need super strength steel to support all that weight, especially on the bottom. Imagine if you were strong enough to lift 150 Trillion Lbs over your head. What would happen? That amount of weight pushing down on you, would literally crush your bones in your arms and legs. Just from the force pushing down on you. They would need some very good engineers and Architects to design it. Even then, I think when we got more than Two Miles in the air, all that weight pushing down would crush it, no matter what type of steel we used. Two miles high is several times taller than the Empire State Building.
A building like that would be so heavy, it would push down on the Mantle of the earth, causing major problems. Like earth quakes, and other bad weather problems. The Hoover Dam already does cause problems for the mantle of the earth, and it is small compared to this. It would be so big, it might off set the rotation and orbit of the earth. Maybe even push it out of its orbit and we would be flying aimlessly through space. The wind would hit it causing big problems. This structure might even weigh more than the earth it self.
Another thing, who would finance it? Where would we get all the materials? If Bill Gates financed it with his approx. 100 Billion Dollars, he would run out of money by the time we got a Mile and a half in the air. The Moon is several Million Miles away.
What purpose would that building serve us? That makes me think up tons of questions. I like this one!

Answer 2

No.
1. Except maybe carbon nanotubes, there's no material strong enough. Read about the space elevator to learn about the engineering challenges.
2. The Earth rotates once a day but the moon orbits only once a month. That means if you built a tower tall enough to reach the moon, it would whack the side of the moon.
Here's a better idea. Start building on the moon and build your tower up from there, so it's only a few hundred miles above the Earth. Wouldn't that be fun?

Answer 3

Not possible. Earth rotates, remember? At the equator, its rotational velocity is about 1,000 miles per hour. The moon is about 250,000 miles away, so the top of a building that reached that far would be whipping around at a speed greater than the structure could possibly withstand. Already architects are having trouble designing skyscrapers that are not even a mile tall. The taller the building, the bigger the percentage of its footprint must be dedicated to services, such as elevators, water lines, ventilation, electric lines and so forth. At a certain point, your building becomes all services, and no occupiable space.
I don't like to discourage inventiveness such as yours, but you can't just dream things up and hope to do them. There are practical considerations as well.

Answer 4

Well Almost It is possible AND feasable
But not in the manner most people think
EARTH TO MOON. ( requires too many resources)
Think of the Other Possibility MOON TO EARTH.

It would require a Base camp on the moon (possible)
An anchoring foundation would be built INTO the moon.
Once a secure foundation it achieved Massive cables
made of the strongest material available would be
fed down to earth and a platform would be constructed
at there termination Maybe 5 - 10 miles above the earth.

The great part of this plan is that it would be then possible to land on the "floating" platform and be transported AROUND the world with NO energy cost except for gettng to and from the "platform" .The cable anchoring the platform could then be used to elevator supplies and materials to the moon.

Might sound strange to some but this Plan has the best possibility to work of any that I can conceive.

The guys that do not believe in my plan are just jealous
Because the voices only talk to me
I know this is possible because they told me so!

STARS for Everyone!

eek :-)

Answer 5

Metaphorically speaking, yes, but realistically, no.
the MASSIVE amounts of materials needed to build it, would be almost impossible to gather, add that in with the time and work, and the large amount of people it would take, plus all the possible problems. PLUS, you'd need people in pressurized suites when you got to a certain height, and sooner or later, you need space suits and whatnot. The danger of such a thing being destroyed is also way to high.
There are just too many reasons against it that make it impossible.

Answer 6

No, there is no technology to do that, there is a project that is called the "space elevator" for which many proposals have been made, still to construct it would be absolutely pointless as it would not be efficient, and there is almost no use for it.

Talles building: Burj Dubai, height: 800m
The average Earth-Moon distance is about 385000 km

So, we only have to build one that is 481,250 times taller...... This i can say will never happen.

Answer 7

not even theoretically possible.

From the surface of the Earth, but theoretically possible from LEO.

It would require a massive ring to be built in Low Earth Orbit, as any 'tower' built from the surface of the Earth would turn with the Earth and sweep past the Moon.

The Earth-Lunar bridge would only be possible if the Earth was tide-locked to the Moon, as the Moon is to the Earth.

Answer 8

No. In fact we never went to the moon. It is a lie. No one can go to the moon because it is a heavenly planet that we must have very good karma to be able to go there. Even if we do go it is a huge wast of time money and energy. Forget the moon, they can't even take care of the earth. And according to the Ancient Vedas no one in Earthly bodies could live there so it is a useless waste of time, child's play to even try for it. It tells in the Vedas how to get there in ones next life,by very pious activities in this life, but it also says it is not the goal to aspire for those planets it is to aspire for the Eternal Kingdom of God. It's all in the Srimadbhakgavatam by Bhaktivedanta Prabhuapda If you think the moon walk was real then why was the flag flying in the air(No gravity) it has all been proven a farce and false propaganda to say US beat the Russians to the moon. They even show where it was filmed.

Answer 9

Not entirely i do enjoy practical jokes, but in this case who would the joke be on? As you look at our planet you can see what man has made and created. We can deface and destroy so many things, why not let it be? It's hard with everyone wanting to be remembered long after they are gone but reall what is left? Why not try and be different and just let things and life be as it may.

Answer 10

.sorry but read the Bible it has been tried and God made us have different languages so yes it says it could have happened by faith alone but, God does not want us to do that....just wait tell ya die and go to heaven its the only way any way
