@gasdive so they need a large counterweight for this to work right? how come they arnt talking about it?

@sk83502 it would probably be more like a train taking multiple people and materials up and down all the time, with shuttles at the top taking people to space stations, we could assemble an entire starfleet without ever launching a rocket, lots of scientists would go up but people from all around the world would pay for a ticket to space for a weekend

you sure its gonna be cheaper? the costs to build that might be worth a billion space ships :)

Use a rotating tether instead of a fixed one. We can build it now with existing fibres. 30 minutes to orbit instead of days or weeks. A fresh payload every 90 minutes instead of days or weeks. Can deorbit payloads without a heatsheild. google Momentum Exchange Tether.
