Someone skipped their basic physics classes! This genius proposal to hang a skyscraper upside-down from an asteroid combines the impracticality of tethering to a moving celestial body with the sheer impossibility of materials science. Even if we ignore the asteroid's orbit (which we can't), the tensile strength required would make spider silk look like wet toilet paper. But hey, at least the CEO is quoting Wayne Gretzky via Michael Scott, because nothing says "sound engineering" like motivational quotes from a hockey player filtered through a fictional paper company manager. Next proposal: using unicorn hair as elevator cables!
