I am having "The 6th Day" flashbacks reading that conversation.

Actually, your original post about the skyhook made me think about a space station named the "Hans Moravec" I read about in a scifi book. When I was just looking up information to reference it, it turns out they are exactly the same technology, made by Moravec himself.
I think the title of the book is "The Crimson Blood", it is primarily about nanotechnology.

I want a link to whatever it is you are talking about.

What about moon launch via trebuchet?

Space carrier pigeon
Really long cable
Two cups connected via string
Neutrinos
Smoke signals?

The microscopic images shown are roughly double the width of the average human hair (170 um). And the dust particle you are looking for in that picture is about the diameter of a human red blood cell (7 um).

Very clever, but how do you get started?

It is equally both. The drivers want better mileage, so they accelerate slowly, if they are on an on-ramp and are required to accelerate quickly, they cannot because the hardware does not allow for that.
I recall the first time I drove a Prius on a highway, it took about twice the distance to get up to highway speed relative to what I was used to, and the accelerator was at 100% for the entire distance.

Citation needed.
I see no reason why it would add more weight than that of a child.

Much interchange.

I know high end flywheel energy storage systems use magnetic bearings in a vacuum to reduce drag, but in this instance, I am sure just regular old mechanical bearings would do fine, since the energy is not stored for a long period of time.

+5 internets.
No wait, AC?!!
+0 internets.

I tried so hard to understand those, but word problems are my kryptonite. Combine that, with directions written by someone having a stroke, and I cannot even comprehend what the question is, let alone the answer.

Heyyy! I did the exact same thing! I had my hands gripping the bottom of the chair I sat in, but I was even using my fingers to count it out. News! I still fail at math.

That is a feature, not a bug. Water for everyone!
