I watch xkcd, it's really cool

I watched "Orguss". I know how vulnerable space elevators would be.

The obvious problem would be getting so high up that you may die before getting back down to Earth to gather materials to continue building such an elevator. Because obviously, the ceiling would be the last touch, and without the ceiling, the elevator would not work. Meaning the builders would need to manually climb all the way up and down until the elevator is built. Assuming there isn't a conveniently placed elevator already in space that would shorten their trips. However, such a thing would void the point for building a second elevator.

i clicked by mistake, i cant stand this fucking moron
-
but you can't build it, bc once world revolves the elevator will break, or just move away from the moon,

Won't the earth's spin rip it apart from the top.
