Space Elevator Competition: USST's First Place Climb

i totally agree

because they need to spend the money on something??

If they need something long enough to reach space, I would consider letting them borrow my dick.

They mean outer space, not the space in your hand...

1, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, 2, there are no hazards to think of that will be in the way because on Earth we have to think about the consequences of this structure failing, 3, the moons gravitational pull is 1/6th that on earth, and 4 there is much more energy from the sun on the side of the moon that the sun is shining on at a given time.

The reason for building an elevator would be to reduce the cost and the amount of resources of trying to get objects off earth.... So what would the point of having one on the moon be exactly?...

beacuse we all know that there are aliens there

For when we have a moon colony.
Also I'm not just making this up.

making what up? anyways im saying that with a sixth of the earths gravity, and zero air resistance, the moon is relatively easy to get off of (think Neil Armstrong) I think that the energy spend creating and maintain a space elevator on the moon would be more than just using regular propulsion. Also the moon doesn't spin very fast which is the key to having a space elevator work

Right on! I wonder how fast it would climb if the elevator was put on the moon instead. The moon has resources too you know. :P
