I would like to see a pull down let go elevator. Like you do with a kite. No energy to bring objects to space and can be really FAST if you want it to be! ;-)...
I not to to be rude, but I think that is funny. Did you get a response from any of these space agencies? BTW how many space agencies have a 40B budget?...
You have not addressed my comment that the drive ribbon in your video is faster than the cab, contrary to your design, where it is 100 times slower. ... ...
In your video it looks like your drive ribbon moves 8.75 ft for each 6.5 feet of elevator rise. The drive ribbon thus moves faster than the cab, right? In your...
