Awesome Astronomy - How Realistic is a Space Elevator?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu9-_p7m-4c Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer "Dr. Dust" Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From  Nov 18, 2022. An elevator into space - the science fiction future! No more explosive rockets - ride an elevator into orbit and open up the solar system for human exploration.   But is that realistic or are there just as many risks with the space elevator?   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
