Summary

Description
English: This image and the concepts that it represents are original to this submission (i.e., are original editor research), as neither the plot as shown nor the concept of "specific strength" appear, per se, in the following Aravind citation. The plot presents this editor's calculation of a ratio of the maximum thickness of the cable at geostationary orbit vs. the minimum thickness at Earth's surface, based on equations in Aravind, see http://users.wpi.edu/~paravind/Publications/PKASpace%20Elevators.pdf
