The space elevator project was funded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.
After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.
@MicroSFF billionaires in space works as long as they never come back to Earth
@MicroSFF also a button for "air". In a few months. Maybe.
@MicroSFF Project is headed by the recently renamed OceanGate, SpaceGate.
@MicroSFF Something that would happen in Mobile Suit Gundam 00
It was a design feature so they could never return.
It's a shame that they could not be an alpha tester.
@MicroSFF ...and we lived happily ever after 😂
When the "Down" button was clicked, the screen then showed:
Are you sure you want to go DOWN?
• NO
• remind me in 3 days

@MicroSFF I have been looking for an account like this on here for quite sometime.
@DarthAstrius I'm glad you found me. If you check out the hashtags, you'll find other storytellers.
@MicroSFF I must bookmark this and re-read it whenever I feel hopeless.
@MicroSFF crowdfunding the "axe the beanstalk" project was an overwhelming success
@MicroSFF This is how the Space Elevator democratises Space Travel for the rest of us.
@MicroSFF
worthy of Douglas Adams. That's a compliment.
@MicroSFF also: they advertised for a space elevator, but made a space catapult instead. same target audience.
@MicroSFF Start a go fund me to pay people not to make a down button. Ill chip in
@MicroSFF Once they’re up there are can tear the elevator down.
