> A space elevator on the moon is much more feasible: less gravity, slow rotation
The slow rotation is a minus, it means you've got to string the tether up to L1 instead of "just" up to geo/luna-stationary orbit. A lunar space elevator needs to be at least 56000 km long, more than 20000 km longer than the one to earth.
> But it's also much less useful.
Yeah, especially because all the things that make lunar space elevators a little more attainable also make lunar mass drivers a lot more attainable. Why ride in an elevator for a week if you also can just be fired from a cannon?
