space-elevator turbo crawler

[otccore]

There are many more applications to consider with this... like an exterior elevator parallel to a building which can be used to transport objects that wouldn't fit thru the doors... and hallways, but would fit in the window (instead of pulleys)... I mean for high altitude stuff really.

I think the space elevator should use a ribbon in a continuous loop that is always moving and passes through sensors at each end to look for micrometiorite and other damage. That way, new payloads could just be clamped onto the upward traveling side of the ribbon, and used satellites and other payloads could be clamped onto the downward traveling side of the ribbon. If damage is seen, the ribbon could be repaired on the base platform.
