Fair point, that would indeed be a problem.
This part of the video alludes to what I'm getting at. Granted, they are using a moon as the weighted object, so rotation wouldn't be affected by hook events.
I wonder how massive the weighted object would have to be to make rotation changes negligible, or at least manageable.
- sandworm101 7y agoEven with a moon, there would be considerable wobble. A strand lifing a ship would slow down relative to the moon. The moons rotation would eventually accellerate the strand back up to the moon's rotation rate, but there would be considerable back-and-forth motion. Pick up too heavy a load and the strand may start to wrap around the moon.
