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. - Brad Guth - Excluding the spin of Earth and of its polluted atmosphere that's somewhat dragging its feet, whereas that moon anchored tether if you'd like can interactively reach damn near to the surface of Earth, which is only trekking that end of itself along at roughly 40 mph. (due to the multi-teraVolt differential, and a few other safety factors, I would not dare advise anyone doing such) So, other than a GSO deployed tether that doesn't accommodate all that much good, whereas my LSE-CM/ISS and of its robust dipole element that can rather easily accommodate almost any secondary tonnage you've got in mind for anything LEO to GSO, is more than doable within existing physics and supported by the best available science. BTW, it might be worth our further pondering as to a north/south polar application of getting terrestrial stuff directly picked up by this extremely slow moving and fully interactive LSE-CM/ISS deployed tether. With some give or take tether adjustments and somewhat upper atmospheric kite flying expertise could snag onto a given polar balloon launched payload of substantial mass and haul it away. Puts a whole new warm and fuzzy meaning on the phrase "Go Fish", doesn't it. Oops! sorry about all that. - Brad Guth - |

http://www.kommersant.com/p-11433/Fotino_landing/ Hundreds killed. Jim Oberg: "Fotino is stuck in a lower orbit." Are we each having yet another bad tether day, or what? Unlike the LEO deployed tether that got all choked up or perhaps had one of those space wedgy problems, whereas my lunar space elevator's 256e6 tonne CM/ISS plus various robust tether loading is not going anywhere it's not supposed to go, other than sticking fairly close to the moon's L1, as always pulled a bit towards Earth by the tether dipole element and of its termination platform doing its highly reliable gravity thing. There's simply no such orbital decay issues to worry about. The tethered deorbit capability as deployed away from my LSE-CM/ISS dipole element, as such doesn't have those pesky sorts of LEO problems, of what-if orbital decay or hardly any other uncontrolled factors, does it. Would any of you silly folks of this anti-think-tank usenet of naysayism from hell on Earth, in spite of yourselves care to know why? For the moment of my excluding the spin of Earth and of its polluted atmosphere that's somewhat dragging its feet, whereas for utilizing that nifty moon anchored LSE tether of mine, if you'd like can be allowed to interactively reach damn near to the surface of Earth, which is only trekking that end of itself along at roughly 40 mph in relationship to the equator of a nonspinning sphere the size of Earth. (due to the multi-teraVolt differential, and a few other interference safety factors, I would not dare advise anyone ever doing such) So, other than a GSO deployed tether that doesn't actually accommodate for all that much cost or safety related good, whereas my LSE-CM/ISS and of its robust dipole element that can rather easily accommodate almost any secondary tonnage you've got in mind, for the relocating of most anything to/from LEO to GSO and that of our moon's L1 and of the moon itself, is more than doable within existing physics, as supported by the best available science as is (in other words, not all that much need be invented). BTW, it might be entirely worth our further pondering as to a north/ south polar application of getting terrestrial stuff directly picked up by this extremely slow moving (interactively managed to within +/- a meter or so per second) end of this fully interactive LSE-CM/ISS dipole deployed tether that's terminated with a robotic/android payload snatcher, that which if need be can be locally remote flown by ground control staff using MS Flight simulator, while sitting in a Tiki hut bar and sucking down a Mai Tai or a Banana Mango Smoothie if you'd like. Along with some give or take tether adjustments and somewhat upper atmospheric kite flying expertise could snag onto a given polar balloon launched payload of substantial mass, and summarily haul it away. Sort of puts a whole new warm and fuzzy spin on the phrase "Go Fish", doesn't it. Oops! sorry about all that. - Brad Guth - |

I would have to say that you're 100% correct. However, if this anti-think-tank of usenet naysayism and incest formulated bigotry from hell were in charge, we'd still be living in the dark ages, on a flat Earth, as well as having that sun (that's only ever so slightly larger than our moon) orbiting us. - Brad Guth - |

Can we focus on what the issues are that lead to the high mortality rate of tether tether experiments. In particular is there imagery of what happens to a deploying tether? Or traces of tension vs. time ( or deployed length)? |
