The Wall Street Journal reports that the Obayashi Corporation plans to have a functional "space elevator" by the year 2050. The hosts remain skeptical of the project's feasibility, joking that they hope to be alive to see it. The episode concludes with the "Adios Mofos" sign-off and a series of jingles, including a parody song about Sharia law and a remix of Brett Kavanaugh's "I like beer" testimony.
Canada's Thoth Technology has received a US patent for a 20km high inflatable space elevator tower designed to cut rocket fuel costs by 30%. The hosts mock the feasibility of the structure and the fact that it is partially funded by NASA, leading to a tangent about the conversion of miles to kilometers.
Canadian Space Elevator Patent, Structural Skepticism
A Canadian company, Thoth Technology, received a patent for a 12.4-mile high "space elevator" using inflatable gas cells. John C. Dvorak challenges the patent, claiming the concept was discussed on the show years ago. The hosts express skepticism regarding the structural integrity of such a tower against high-altitude winds.
Moon Rising Documentary and NASA Photo Manipulation
Adam Curry recommends the documentary "Moon Rising," which claims to show colorized NASA photos revealing moon bases and light disks. The film argues that NASA has systematically manipulated lunar photography to hide extraterrestrial structures. Dvorak remains skeptical of the "space elevator" and moon base claims.
