What useful purpose would such a geostationary fiber serve?
I think radiation damage and solar wind are going to be bigger problems than orbital tension. Brent ----- Among other things, it would be the largest manmade structure ever built. (~ one light-second in circumference!) One could build a large radio telescope from the satellites & use the comms to synchronize it. Maybe its first use would be to study the radiation damage & solar wind effects to glass fibers in geosynchronous orbit. ;-) What purpose did the Great Pyramid serve?
