Elevators to space?
Post Body
Im curious, I've seen so many designs for elevators to space. My question is, would it actually be possible to build? Or would the earth's rotation kind of "sweep the legs" out from under it? Because if the base is attached to the ground, and the top just ends in space, i feel like it would topple over once it gets tall enough from the earth rotation, the laws of inertia, and the air resistance working against the structure more and more the taller it gets. Correct me if im wrong
