Actually shameful behavior. Their descendants will not look back kindly on them.

Even if they managed to build it, a linear city in the middle of the desert sounds like a Bond villain’s wet dream. Get that giant space mirror thing from die another day, just melt the whole city in one go with a big laser.

That’s weird. Because everything I’ve ever heard about this project was nothing but positive assumptions and critics saying that it was going to work out just fine. So yeah it’s really really weird to hear of this project failing after hearing of its astronomically high chance of success for so long
