[ExI] Orbital skyscraper proposal

[Adrian Tymes]

Another space elevator design, with no consideration of material strength,
orbital traffic management, or the other well known problems of space

Glad to see more enthusiasm, but why do so many people keep making big
shows out of reinventing the wheel, if they want to be believed that
they're doing anything new?
