A Tower in Space-Time

Arya Vaii and Gunnar Schmidt's company is thriving on the financial success of Arya's groundbreaking time-stopping technology, primarily utilizing it to develop revolutionary rockets. Their latest project, a 200-kilometer long space tower in Eastern Virginia, allows them to launch spacecraft at incredible speeds by placing passengers and payloads in stasis. This innovative approach dramatically reduces the cost of placing objects in orbit, drawing interest from both the world and unscrupulous entities eager to exploit outer space further.
