1,000km Cable to the Stars - The Skyhook
To many, getting into space with current rocket technology is like climbing into a unicycle with a backpack full of fireworks.
This is because, in order to escape earth's gravity with a rocket, you have to burn a lot of fuel and you have to fly at 40,000 kilometers per hour, which brings huge costs and risks of accidents.
And even if you do successfully launch a rocket, there are actually only a handful of payloads that can be sent into space and that's where Skyhook comes in
Skyhook, like Bridges, ports, rail tracks and ropeways, is based on the idea of building the infrastructure to support space roads
A similar concept is a rail elevator that extends from the ground to geostationary orbit, but unlike rail elevators,Skyhook doesn't require a huge initial investment or magical new technology
If you connect a spacecraft to one end of a cable hundreds to thousands of kilometers long......Take the spacecraft down the cable to the other end...The basic idea behind Skyhook is to send it into space at high speed.
Connecting the planets of our solar system one by one through connections is not a dream.
