surprised by now we have not moved on past carbon nanotubes yet

At this point Dave's brain would have melted.

So I guess the atmosphere rotates too with the earth?

That's correct. And, if you fell off a space elevator, you wouldn't float in space, you'd just drop straight down.

I think what he was trying to say is, it's like if you fall from 100 feet into water.  The impact is powerful.  But if you slowly lower yourself into the water, it's a nice soft landing.

I'd hang out in the bar of the ship with a shirt that says "I'm a Hubrid, wanna fuck?"

Thanks. I'll be sure to stay IN the elevator.

Yes, it's bound to the Earth and moves with it.

I did not know that, or more correctly never thought about it.

for an object to burn in the atmosphere it needs to be traveling through the atmosphere at a very high velocity.

The only reason I can even think of to get on a cruise ship is to have lots and lots of sex with people I will never see again. I imagine that conspiracy cruise would be awkward and not fun.

But you could have sex with Sean David Martin!

Me too. Carbon nanotubes. *Drool*



QuoteA study was recently released by the Journal Interface which showed that the teeth of Limpets contained the strongest material yet found in nature.  This material has been measured to have a tensile strength of 3.0 to 6.5 GPa, stronger than spider-silk (the previous champion) and approximately the same strength as the carbon fibers produced by Toray.

6.5 GPa is about 20-25% of the strength needed to build a space elevator, so this is a potentially significant development.

As the Gravity expert in the forum, I would have to inject that it depends on where you were at on the space elevator.  Past a certain point you would be in orbit.  At 23,000 miles up you could let go and grab it again because you are at geosync. Above that and you would be in an orbit that would last a long, long time, below that your orbit would degrade and eventually you would renter.
