The main idea behind this proposal is to build a skyscraper in space. It will sit on the plane of an orbit where gravity is zero. The concept is to keep the median point of the structure on the orbital plane and build it until it almost reaches the Earth’s surface. This experiment is one of the many investigations to free the skyscraper from gravity and create the tallest structure which could completely solve our housing problems. The building is 1000 kilometers tall and its orbital plane would be at 500 kilometers.
