Exploring the concept of a space elevator, this book details its structure as a connection extending from Earth's surface to a geostationary orbit at 35,786 km. The design allows it to maintain a 24-hour orbit, remaining fixed over a specific equatorial point. The envisioned space elevator serves as a transportation and utility system, facilitating the movement of people, cargo, energy, and gases between Earth and space, akin to a bridge linking two cities across water.
