While the idea certainly isn't new, the material basis for it is somewhat interesting. I like the graphic...makes it seem like a geosynchronous orbit is nearby versus over 3 times further than the diameter of the earth. I'd like to see the process they'll use to make 26k mile diamond cables.

Another question sparky, i know very little about solar storms, aside from the fact they can potentially cause a lot of harm. So bear with me.

Is it possible for a solar storm to positively or negatively charge a object? Or even swapthe polarity of a proton or neutron?

Excuse my stupid questions, i rarely have anyone around that is smart enough to stretch my brain muscles out with.
