    The first articles about this subject spoke about 'spacetowers' (back in the sixties). I guess that tells enough.

    But if the the tensile strength is high enough, a cable would do nicely

    Btw, Jam. NASA did try to experience with cables once. They tried to get a cargo down to Earth by winding of a cable out of the space shuttle. It failed, but I don't remember the reason for sure, I thought the failure had to do with the wind conditions near earth surface.

      Hopefully that swinging cable didn't destroy anything.

        /me clicks his fingers...

        Off course, that's why that jumbo disappeared somewhere around Hawai back then. Guess what it was hit by?

          /me wakes up and stumbles out of the elevator.

          The universe revolves?

          /me falls back into a chair and passed out.

                      Looks like the world has stopped revolving for Jamski for the moment.

                        Looks like his heart has stopped too, if that medical monitor is correct.

                          /me stares to Skanky, and says with a hard, insinuating voice:

                          Skanky...

                              Mindworm + Drink -> Dead Jamski.

                              I had something to do with that.
