Kerbal Space Program - So, You Want Me To Build A Space Elevator?

So, I've had a few people suggest I build a space elevator, not all of them seriously I should add, so I decided to address this suggestion.

imagine a ring (or HALO from the game) with the circumference of the ISS altitude or higher. what kind of gravity would it have? theoretically speaking it is strong to hold its shape. would it fall? could we build a giant ring then slow it down and use it to hold up an elevator? I WANT SCOTT TO TALK ABOUT THIS!!!

What version is this ?
-
Rare case of works in practice but not in theory.
-
Space hooks is really not a tower
-
Try using Kermin as it's own gravity assist. Once you let go, go towards the apparent horizon. Even if you near the surface, you should be well above escape velocity.

Hahahha i like how you say fly safe

4:10 Doodcott Kerman smiles at explosion

What do you do for a living?

Crazy to think this was three years ago

Don't click read more its a trap i warn you.
You are now breathing manually. Enjoy. -
Is this game free on pc

You could constantly make stable poles with ladders on it covered in rcs thrusters to use ports to hold it, then and extra base by ports
-
4:06 well if your gonna collapse you may as well do it in style huh?

Coriolis Effect?
-
In a world without snap symmetry?

Scott you are so sick for letting that kerbal fall from that tower like that.

when the earth becomes tidally locked to the moon, would it not be practical to build an elevator to the moon
-
hey hold the scroll weel button and slide your mouse ,it also changes camera height in the VAB
-
Couldn't you have a pod at the end of the elevator and have it on SAS to keep it stable?

what about trying to build an elevator on minmus with kis by combination of docking and placement... the reason I said kis is because u can attack the structure to the ground and u have cables with winches... the reason I said minmus is because of it's slow rotationa and low gravity. I would love to see u try this... if anyone can do it u can...
