Dec 18, 2014 at 14:28 comment added Ghanima The lower gravity of the moon is unfortunately not going to help much, as the pole's end near earth would experience much pull from earth too.
Dec 18, 2014 at 14:24 comment added Tamás Juhász I agree with that, but the question wasn't about effectiveness :) And the lower gravity maybe makes the things easier (wasn't mean to be a word-wit)
Dec 18, 2014 at 14:11 comment added Ghanima Suggesting a 400.000 km long pole? There might be some minor drawbacks to that idea.
Dec 18, 2014 at 14:08 comment added Tamás Juhász That's why you need pole from the Moon, it has to be long enough to earn the atmosphere.
