2 " The concept for this geostationary orbit space elevator actually was announced by NASA in the United States more than forty-seven years ago, in the year 2000. But at the time, it was projected for completion in 2062.” “Huh?! B-but that’s still…way ahead?” “Mmm. So why did they set a date so far in the future? Because in NASA’s plan, they were going to catch an asteroid passing close to the Earth and attach that to the tip of the cable stretching out above the station in geostationary orbit and use it as the weight.” “What?! They were going to catch an asteroid?!” “Exactly. The idea was that if they waited until ’62, a reasonable-size asteroid would luckily be flying by, "

3 " Since the speed of objects going around in geostationary orbit is basically perfectly synchronized with the rotation of the Earth, for all appearances, it never moves from that one spot in the sky above the Earth. Just as the name says, it’s stationary. Thus…” The line coming straight down from the square—the station in geostationary orbit—hit the Earth. “If you attach the end of the cable to the Earth, you get a tower like this. Or rather, a ladder that reaches from the Earth to space. "

6 " Huh…” Haruyuki sighed several times and stared again at the illustration on the window before him. Since the diameter of the Earth was about 12,700 kilometers, a length of four thousand kilometers was probably the same proportion as an apple and its stem, but the idea that this thing was whizzing by above his head at Mach ten "

7 " plunged down onto their respective targets at an acute angle. The timing was such that even these skilled fighters couldn’t evade the strike free of injury. Frost Horn and Tourmaline Shell both crossed their arms in front of their bodies and braced themselves to block. Nonetheless, they were concussed by dive kicks storing up the kinetic energy of a descent from a height of five hundred meters. "
