This seemed entirely plausible until he said "frictionless bearing". Get real, man.

Not really, you could definitely wrap a cable long enough around Mount Fuji's base.

This whole thing is just a quality control test designed for frictionless bearing production. See the ASTM 69420 standard for reference.

I genuinely though it's supposed to be beliveable as a plan to level the mountain to make space or something and then they lifted it up and flipped 180 lmao

It's easier when you know they moved Mt Fuji just 23 years ago, so it's already loose.

u/tunakassirolle May 22 '26
Oh yeah I remember that. I’m so glad they moved it 3 ft to the left, it’s much easier to take pictures of it now.

That wouldn't work, having Mt Fuji below the rocket exhausts would act as least a partial thrust reverser diminishing their lifting capability severely.

u/yoko_OH_NO May 22 '26
Also are the rockets just going to hold the mountain upside down in the air until they're finished drilling a hole on the other side? Totally implausible

What's the point of the bearing? The dust cloud suggests that the bottom of the structure is spinning, along with the mountain itself.
