Ok, I didn't read the paper...
But everyone knows the moon orbits the earth with a cycle sort of similar to what we call a month.
How is an earth-moon cable feasible again?
- redka 7y agoI assume it's not anchored to the earth
- tpmx 7y agoWouldn't be much use if it wasn't.
- clemParis 7y agowell… you should read the paper, or maybe a summary like this one[0], before jumping to comment. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20897565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20897565

- chkaloon 7y agoSuggestion - read the paper.
- wbhart 7y agoA pointer to where they compute this in the paper would be helpful. There are a lot of comments to just read the paper because they calculate this or that, but I quickly read the thing through and either missed all these points being covered, or it's not actually considered.
- tpmx 7y ago"The Spaceline. By extending a line, anchored on the moon, to deep within Earth’s gravity well" That's the concept. They could have fit that within in the title of the post.
