It's too bad the article is so lean on details like how much it would cost and how the design would deal with the enormous strains of torque and wind etc. But one thing's for sure, put a revolving restaurant at the top and it would pay for itself in three years.
- windsurfer 17y agoHow is that sure, may I ask?
- mhb 17y agoBecause of the view.
- windsurfer 17y agoWhat I mean is... Well, not everyone has $10,000 to pay for a dinner, even if it is on the edge of space. How are you so sure people will take out a line of credit to pay for such an extravagant couple of hours?
- nopassrecover 17y agoSure, but enough people do. You'd have a wedding proposal each night.
- evgen 17y agoNot everyone has $10K to spend on dinner, but enough do. A restaurant like this will not cater to people who need to borrow to pay for the meal. $10K per person is basically the equivalent of a week at a five-star luxury resort. This is well within reach of anyone making $500K/year and there are enough foodies, adventurers, and people who will use a meal at a place like this as a way of "keeping score" in that group to keep the reservation number for this restaurant perpetually busy.
- GiraffeNecktie 17y agoIt's a joke. Sorry.
