"That's exactly right gi the science is in fact incredibly simple"

LMAO. Which is it? Simple enough to be done on a TI-55 or so complicated we need a super-computer.

If it's so simple then where are the numbers to back up the wild unsubstantiated claims of Pickett, et al? Hmmm?

Don't the need a crane larger than the current crop of super-cranes?

If one cannot post numbers for their "simple" science, then maybe, they do more research.

Or, just accept the fact that the physics of this idiotic adventure make it impossible.

Today, currently the world's tallest cranes measure a little better than 600 feet.

Current world record on concrete pumping height is 1972 feet which leave SWET short by 263 feet or about two and a half football fields.
