TOPIC: Doing the math

Created by: Robert_Hil Original Starting post for this thread:
Sometimes I hate math. As an acadimic subject to study, I love trying to learn it... Despit failing horribly at it. As some might know, I am trying ti write a scifi novel... I am still editing it and thought I figured out the math to a space elevator... Using earth as a guide, I would need to build a structure some 22,340 miles high, just to reach stable orbit. (forget the engineering for a moment.) the earth is about 24,000 miles in circumference. Unless I were to have a near perfect mater to energy to mater technology involved in my novel... Building a five mile wide space elevated has now just become impracticable... No matter the millennium. :-( CURSE YOU MATH!!!!! So, has anyone else had their hopes dashed by mathamatical certainties?

Waiting waiting, then I suddenly think about this post. I thought about patiently waiting for the elevator to return from Robert Hill's planet Zagnut7, three galaxies away. Suddenly, waiting the return from floor 30 was finda funny to me.

So while trying to figure out the math for how large the warehousing needs to be for the space elevator, I have now learned some realistic limitations to our current cranes and shipping. I am having fun trying to figure out how to move so much cargo vs size of facility. Now to figure how how much weight should each elevator lift be capable of vs how much weight each cargo containor should carry... Then how many containers per lift vs volume per lift. By the time I finally have this figured out... I think I could actually learn algrabra... I think.

Maybe put a few rest stops on the way. Oooh! and one of those places with the big fiberglass dinosaurs!
