Towards routine, reusable space launch.

The cable is tapered, so it is stronger at geostationary altitude. The most likely reason for the cable to break is if it is hit by something. The cable being very big at geostationary altitude (and most likely multi-stranded) it is probably more likely to survive a hit there. Sooner or later an aircraft will blunder into the area and hit the cable and break it. Is there any way to prevent that?
