Why nobody else understands the ingenuity of Giant Space Carousel from Seveneves. Central mass can be at any orbit, not only 30 000 kilometers away at geostationary point. When rotation is synchronized with earth, and spokes almost touch the earth, you can just hop into the Carousel and ride to space for free.
