the only thing i can find wrong with this is that who could it reach the moon when the moon and the earth are rotating at different speeds and the moon is revolving around the earth and with the space station it would fall right out of the sky because it was going to slow to maintain a steady orbit and how would it just shoot up this cable it would have to be a huge super structure so it couldnt get past the moon without it being hit hence no mars or asteroids and what about satelites there tradjectaries(?) would have to be altered to not hit this and how would it be constructed no air = no welding or concrete meaning it wouldnt be too sturdy so it would just be cheaper to build new shuttles in the long run and the only reason the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded was because of a faulty O-ring so the space shuttle is a lot safer than you think it is probably safer than riding in a car or crossing a street becuase even if there is a bird in the area they wont launch the shuttle so dont go there with the it isnt safe garbage
