As long as were on the subject of getting into and out of orbit,
anyone want to discuss the space elevator concept?

What is going to be used as the counter-mass in space?
Is someone going to trap the proper sized rock in the asteroid belt
and haul it back to the desired Earth orbit to attach to the top of
the elevator tube?


We could use anthony. We'd have to check as to his exact mass, but I
bet it's in the ballpark.

Mass (definition) - anything that has weight and takes up space.

While Anthony does take up space in these forums, I think most would
agree that what he writes carries no weight.


I was thinking more of the pile of Krispy Kreme boxes in the corner of his
bedrom and where their contents have gone.
