- I have some questions that people don't seem to be able to answer in
- sci.space.
-
- Situation: I need to place a casino 200 miles over Nevada with a
- tether below it for elevators. I have access to 2026 AD technology.
-
- Questions: What amount of power would the casino need to stay over
- one spot in Nevada? What would be a good source of this power? What
- should the tether be composed of? What will be the weight capacity
- of the tether?
