If we have fantastic materials in the future, maybe an elevator will become more practical, Apart from lifting geostationary satellites to just below orbit and then let them use their own thrusters to position to their assigned slot/longitude, what other use would a space elevator have ? You go above the GEO point on the cable and get flung on interplanetary trajectories. "get flung" and what reaction does the cable have ? |
