Girly Have you ever heard of a Space Elevator? It is an elevator that would
run between a satellite and the earth by means of a cable made of carbon
~によって
nanotube, which was discovered by a Japanese scientist, Iijima Sumio. This
elevator would be able to carry passengers and cargo to a satellite 36,000 km
5 above the earth. In its geostationary earth orbit (GEO), the satellite would
look as if it were standing still in space because it could match the speed of
the rotation of the earth. If this elevator were to be built, we could send more
satellites farther into space.
