Hey! Another space elevator fan. Another worthy project, albiet much less advanced and more complex, but also complimentary to this one.
And yet another one! Remember, the 69,000 mile tether is more than an elevator, it’s also an interplanetary launch system.
Yep. “Slingshot to the Stars!” Or thereabouts. 😉
Alpha Centauri maybe, if we can get .5 C or better average speed. I’m too old for a 20 year round trip.
We’ll just shoot you full of snow-flea juice and chill you to -2°C for the trip. You’ll miss lots of the sightseeing along the way, but will wake up (possibly) without an additional wrinkle or grey hair!
