A short while ago there was a discussion concerning orbital towers....earth
to geosych. The asertion was made that using a novel approach and hi tech
materials such a structure was possible with today's tech.
If a twenty thousand mile hi structure is possible then how much more
possible is a two or three hundred mile high structure?
More to the point....how useful would such a structure be?
Other than being the world's highest antenna I have an idea.
Power Generation. Being that high there must be some voltage differential
between ground level and the top...out of the atmosphere.
Plus...it would be a departure station for a pinwheel.
