It gets even better if you have orbital rings, an actively supported ring megastructure around a planet just barely above the atmosphere that could potentially connect to hundreds or thousands of shorter easier to build space elevators, they can be built large enough to have entire industries, shipyards, and ship launching magnetic Accelerator rails around the outer edge. The crazy part is that it might be more practical to build than a normal space elevator since you just need power to drive the active support system instead of exotic super materials to make a tether. A great video on the topic is on the "Science and futurism with Isaac Arthur" UA-cam channel, I'd love to see the UNSC building these as part of their reconstruction and re-colonization efforts (or you know, have us build them in real life once our space programs can handle building the smallest practical versions to start)
Space Elevators have always been one of my favourite parts of the Halo. They just represent the UNSC aesthetic so well and set the cities and skylines aside from other sci-fi settings.
Can produce a cable strong enough and light enough to anchor a space station but cannot produce armor that can survive more than 1 plasma hit or ballistic weaponry that does not rely on gas diversion......................... Makes a lot of sense.
the one big obstacle to them being real is making a cable that is strong and light enough to handle the stresses put on them. on the moon, we can start making one today with a Kevlar rope, for earth, the only possible material for the cable is nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes lack the tensile strength for earth based constructs. They have to also bear the weight of their own cable and as such fall short when you do the maths. However, they can work using carbon nanotubes on planets with a lower gravitational pull, such as Mars and the jovian system.
@@sebwilkins where have you heard that, I heard that only a continuous carbon nanotube cable would work, it just needs to be a continuous nanotube running the entire length of the cable instead of a lot of nanotubes woven together, but making the cable atomically perfect for longer than 100 KM is the hard part
@@AleksandrPodyachev People have been saying that Carbon nanotubes MIGHT work for several years but earlier in 2019, an experiment indicated that they did not have sufficient tensile strength. www.cmu.edu/nanotechnology-forum/Forum_3/Talk/SeungHoonNahm.pdf
Individual Nano tube are very strong, but cables made out of them turned out to have the tensile strength of cotton thread. ;) Also they turned out to have very limited carry capacity ( how much you can lift/lower per year ), and the cost per pound turned out very high compared to even conventional rockets.
Graphene is a material to look at. It's tensile strength is about 100 times that of steel of the same thickness. A square meter sheet of graphene thats 1 molecule thick, will hold about 4kg while weighing 0.77mg. It has the strongest tensile strength of any known material at 19 million psi, and a stiffness of up to 150 million psi. The problem is making it. We've been making it by accident in extremely low quantities for well over a century in the graphite industry. We need to mass produce it in large sheets, and that's been expensive and problematic thus far.
Funnily enough, the newest _Ace Combat_ game is centered around a space elevator. Strangely, you don't get to blow it to pieces in spite of the trouble it triggered.

One of the neatest deployments of a space elevator in Neal Stephenson's "Seveneves". The Earth-based counterweight could actually be moved, and was large enough that it was a city in itself.
I know right when I first played halo 2 and I saw the new Mombasa one I couldn’t stop staring at it and I was like what is that tower thing in the background will we get to go inside it
What was the most powerful destructive weapons excluding the Halos did the Forerunners have that produced a explosive force or some form of destructive weapons that were produced for the military like ODPS were?
Mantles Approach. Doesn't look big or menacing in game, but by lore it's the most heavily armed ship In the Forerunner Navy. Ur-Didacts personal flagship. Well.. Was anyways. Until one small green boi used plot armour to blow it up with a puny nuke.
I dunno about the forerunners, but the UNSC did have a NOVA bomb, theres was an occasion where one got set off between a planet and moon, the planet became unihabitable and the moon got shattered,

In my opinion, the Space Elevator in New Mombasa instantly collapsed after the departure of The Prophet of Regret's CAS-Class Assault Carrier. As well as a majority of New Mombasa crumbling and collapsing within the radius of the shockwave formed from the Assault Carrier. The aftermath of the jump left most of New Mombasa in ruins along with Space Elevator parts along the far ranges of Old Mombasa and beyond the outskirts of the Mega-City. EDIT: And a little Fun Fact about the Space Elevator of Pinnacle Station in *Halo 5: Guardians.* The Space Elevator has four outer elevator tethers (meant for mainly Meridian visits and ferrying civilians on and off world) and a single main elevator tether (meant for carrying heavy cargo and large amounts of civilization on and off world) and in which it also has a stronger super structure than the New Mombasa Space Elevator.
Well, Halo:ODST is set just after the ship left and the city is mostly intact. Also, die SE didnt "collapse" per se as it was severed near the bottom. The structural elements still attached to the tether began to fall off though, as 00 described in the video.
Ace Combat 7 also had a space elevator, and the game takes place in 2019 no lees. Thinking about it, it would honestly be cool to see you talk about the many wacky tech that exists in Ace Combat
Great video. Anyone wanting to know more in depth info about elevators and shyhooks should check out Isaac Arthur's UA-cam channel. He has done videos on most any Mega Structure you can think of. His earlier work is a little hard to follow do to a speech impediment. He has improved greatly and his work is great.
There is. The gas giant Threshold has an orbital ring, from which the gas mine in Halo 2 hangs down into the atmosphere. Waypoint calls it a "band orbital". There's some background shots of it during this gameplay ua-cam.com/video/9wBbnBMIAho/v-deo.html
How powerful and durable would a Forerunner main battle tank and super heavy tank be like when compared to other Sci Fi tanks like the Baneblade from Warhammer 40k or Seige tank from Starcraft?
I think irl humanity wil have them sooner rather then later, partly giving more time to improve hardyness but also subjecting it to terrorism by groups like isis or other location based organisations looking for terror.
Yeah, as awesome as this concept is, and in spite of what it would do in regards to space travel for us, we just don't have a material that can withstand these sorts of forces just yet. This is honestly something I put in the same category as Halo's gravity plating; interesting in theory, possibly achievable, but still out of our current reach.
@OriginalTharios Like I said; outside of our current reach, but theoretically achievable with enough progress. I can't tell you how much I hope said breakthroughs happen in my lifetime, because it would be beyond amazing.

Please do correct me if I'm mistaken, but I don't believe orbital elevators need to be twice the length of the distance between Earth's surface and geostationary orbit altitude. The space between geostability and the upper end of the elevator can be reduced by increasing the mass of the counterweight.
If SCP-2399 was in the Halo universe would it probably be more powerful then even Forerunner ships like Mantle's Approach or Fortress class Dreadnoughts since it's FTL and communication network is pretty good and it survived a near light speed collision with Jupiter's moon Io and it has planet busting weapons that would completely obliterate Earth if it arrived.

This raises a few questions. For instance, if all space elevators on earth are at its equator, and one of them was destroyed at the top, since it would wrap itself all they way around the planet, twice, wouldn't that mean it would have destroyed all the other space elevators as it came down, since it would fall along the equator?
Actually i don´t think the lift has to be twice the height of the orbit, if the counter weight is havy enought :) It just has to be a bit heigher than the stable orbit
thats not how that works, a tether has to be in geosync orbit, otherwise the whole cable starting moving relative to earth and eventually smash into the surface
@@mxn1948 i know, but i don't think it must twice the length. If the upper station is above the geosynchronous orbit and heavy enough to create the right amount of counter force, against the gravitational pull of the cable, it should be ok, if the whole lift is just a little bit longer as one time the geosynchronous orbit.
Personally a space elevator would cause me a great deal of unwanted stress. I have vertigo and I am terrified of heights. If I am a scared standing on a 20 to 30 story building their is no way in Hell I am going up a space elevator. You couldn't pay a billion dollars to do it hell no just looking at the thing from ground level would make me feel like vomiting or borderline faint.

@@SargeRho It is theoreticaly possible, if we can figure out how to grow 70 000 kilometer long nano carbon tubes or learn how to make shorter nano tubes into 70 000 kilometer long cable. Nanotubes and grafine are the best option to build the cable because they are strong and light enough.
