The centre of mass of the lift would be in geostationary orbit above the equator. If the earth wasn't spinning there would be no way to build this at all. The cable would be fed from orbit down to meet the anchor point below it on the equator, not the other way round.
So which one's Harry on, and which one's got A.J.? I hope the one with A.J. asplodes on liftoff. Although losing Bear would kinda suck.
