Hello Charles,

Dyneema has a bit better tensil strength than SPECTRA but do you have NL manufacturing willing to work?

Hanging a space elevator cable is somewhat problematic compared to HTOL H2 breather.

I have 22 kilometer altitude Hyperblimps that could hang test cables for you .... very, very small ones

Kevin, We do not need CNT for a *LUNAR* elevator.

It can be built today using existing Spectra-2 commercial fibre.
