And if you could, Damien (or anyone else) please address if there are  
issues with charge and temperature.

People working on exotic problems often ignore the mundane and  
equally problematic stuff. I see a charge differential issue with  
running a line from terra firma out of the atmosphere. Not to mention  
friction. Fullerenes or not.


Thanks!
