    He actually got the mechanics right!

    The concept is a system utilizing an ultra-strong ribbon that extends from the surface of the Earth to a point beyond geosynchronous orbit. The ribbon is held in place by a counterweight in orbit. As the Earth rotates, the ribbon is held taut.

    None of this “center of mass in geosynchronous orbit” garbage.
