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

The geosats I've worked with (only a couple) have always danced around in an
odd figure 8 pattern over the equator. It's only fractions of a degree, but
wouldn't this make for quite a problem on the ground?
