In: Earth Science
But if we are serious about sending equipment on Mars, we need to find better delivery system than the one we have now. And money is not important if it’s a humanity effort instead of country effort. Even if we start launching from the stratosphere it will save us a ton of space on the rockets because the rockets will use less fuel because of lower air density which means less friction. Also Burj califa costs 1.5 billion because its a luxury building with glass and tiles and furniture. For sky elevator we would need just steel and concrete
