It’s hard to believe but space elevators have been theorized about for over a century. The physics are solid and the concept of these megastructures towering above us is so damn cool. But, there’s one 35,786km problem that’s just about holding us back from living the Halo or Star Wars inspired space elevator dreams. Noted orbiting Zaddy Kyle Hill explains why you won’t be riding one with Elon or Katy Perry anytime soon.
