lunar elevator
A lunar elevator is a theoretical transportation system that would use a cable extending from the surface of the Moon to a geostationary point above it. The idea behind a lunar elevator is to enable efficient and cost-effective access to and from the lunar surface, reducing the need for traditional rockets. The cable would be held in tension by the Moon's gravity and would allow objects to be lifted to the geostationary point using counterweights and orbital mechanics. However, the concept of a lunar elevator is still in the realm of scientific exploration and significant technological advancements are needed for its practical implementation.
