  That’s silly.
  Clouds would knock the pipes down.

    I was thinking you could put giant fans on it to blow the clouds away, but then the moon would also knock it down once you got up that high.

      What if… hear me out… we pipe straight up into space, and then use a 90° bend to angle the remaining pipe to the sun. Shouldn’t Be too difficult, but I bet those plumbers would charge an expensive ass trip fee.

      ~We’ll need a shit ton of that purple PVC glue though.~

        Then we have to wait until the purple PVC glue goes on sale

        Nope, because you can’t use PVC for piping steam. You’re going to need to use metal pipe. Iron pipe is the cheapest bet but it’s such a pain to work with. Personally I’d run copper. I think that’s to code for low pressure steam anyways.

        Wait, if it’s going into space then whos building codes are we using?

    Don’t worry, once we set it up we’ll have a consistent supply.

    Couple of years maybe … maybe longer

  I’m curious if it would even be thermodynamically possible. If we could magically run a pipe that far, would the heat from the water radiate into space before it reached earth to do anything useful?

  Someone get XKCD to do a video short on this.

    i imagine filling any sized pipe to 1au would use most of the water on earth.

    What if instead of a pipe to return the steam we use a freaking laser beam!

  Oh yeah! I did that for my house. We have free heat and power. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass to build the pipeline that far out and it took me many more hours than expected, but, the system toots along just fine.

  Because it would cool down on the way back.

    We just have to pipe it faster
