<p>That schematic diagram, where they show everything, obviously
isn't anywhere close to scale. They have the international space
station close to Geo, or the "Clarke Belt". The distance between
those is HUGE.<br>
</p>
<p>And I haven't seen anywhere where they describe how the G force
changes. Obviously, it would be Zero in GEO. But what would it
be on the top "FUNERARY" floors? Given the scale it is drawn it
appears it would be about half a G on the top "FUNERARY" floor.
But it probably is much more like .9 or more G, given the correct
scale? Or does the fact that it is orbiting, even if only
geostationary, change things at that altitude?<br>

Analemma inverts the traditional diagram of an earth-based
foundation,<br>
instead depending on a space-based supporting foundation
from which<br>
the tower is suspended. This system is referred to as the
Universal<br>
Orbital Support System (UOSS). By placing a large asteroid
into orbit<br>
over earth, a high strength cable can be lowered towards the
surface<br>
of earth from which a super tall tower can be suspended.<br>

They do say that property prices there would be quite high.
