I suppose it doesn't, now that you mention it. Vaporware is like that.

Would any of you silly naysay folks of this anti-think-tank usenet
from hell, like to know why?

I'm more concerned about the getting into orbit part of the problem,
orbital decay will take care of the getting back from orbit part of it.

My lunar space elevator's 256e6 tonne CM/ISS plus various tether
loading is not going anywhere, other than sticking fairly close to the
moon's L1, as always pulled a bit towards Earth with the tether dipole
element and of its termination platform doing it's reliable gravity
thing. There's no such orbital decay to worry about.
