space elevator (was CEV - Orion)

Bypassing rotating structures for the moment...

With reguards to a *first* generation space hotel, it's likely to be
completely zero G, for reasons of cost, complexity, and because zero G is
THE selling point of the entire holiday. :P

Chances are Bigalow will be the first to have a hotel up there:

Though I am sure follow on designs will have rotating sections. If nothing
else it makes the plumbing so much simplier.
