Abstract:
The idea of connecting two objects in space to permit exchange of linear or angular momentum between them goes back at least to 1895, to Konstantin Tsiolkovskii. He visualized erecting a rigid, immensely tall tower somewhere on the Earth’s equator, and launching objects into space by lifting them up the tower.
