Re: How on earth are we going to comlete the space elevator

It cannot work, I thought we all knew that. It is not only the accuracy that
is the problem its the centre of gravity to retain an orbit.

this is a simple reason why the space elevator will not work. there is
too much reletive movement between the earth and the orbit for such a
task to take place. if someone has an explanation please explain
