Science Chunks

[Salik]

Throw a satellite in geo-stationary orbit. Now you can tie a rope or a ladder between the Earth and that satellite.

Climb the ladder. Adventure of its own kind.

 

[V. Makarov]

do you even science?

or may be dig a hole to the other side of the earth

 

[Gauss]

this is stupid on so many levels.

If you please explain.

You mean something like these

Its already there, they are waiting for you to inaugurate it.

Oh, i missed the geostationary part first time i saw your post. so your idea is not stupid on simplest levels.
But the storms in the atmosphere will cause an extra force on the satellite. and because orbital motion is due to a delicate balance between tangential velocity and force of gravity, the extra force will disrupt the balance and cause the satellite to crash to earth or go astray in other space.
Edit: it cant go into outerspace because its tied to the earth so it will only crash into the earth.

There are turtles all the way down

Yes there are legends and stories of ladder going to heavens. It'll make it true, a ladder going high and high : )

A satellite continuously faces clouds of dust particles and gases in the outer space. It always needs thrusts to stay in the orbit and at a particular point. It's on going process a satellite have to face. Otherwise it'll fall towards the Earth due to resistance in the space, decreasing the speed and making gravity dominate.

Now if we tie a ladder, it'll definitelly put burden on the satellite. For that it'll need increased thrusts in proportion to the load. Making satellite a C -130 aircraft.

this is not correct. who told you that. a satellite doesnt have to do anything with thrust. think for yourself if that was the case wouldnt its fuel run out within sometime and then it will have no thrust available.

Don't forget to hold your breath, and when you exit the atmosphere, put some sun glasses on, and apply sunscreen, you'll need it.

It depends howmuch distance do you intend to cover. Initially you'll go with a parachute. When you feel tired and face less Oxygen, you just jump. Then there comes next category where people go with space suit and try to reach the top.

this is not correct. who told you that. a satellite doesnt have to do anything with thrust. think for yourself if that was the case wouldnt its fuel run out within sometime and then it will have no thrust available.

Satellites do go run out of fuel then they're useless and are thrown into 'satellite graveyard'. A satellite has life upto 20 years.

So you can even send a power cable to a satellite from the Earth.

Gravity levels

When a person or an object is on a spherical body, lets say a planet, it faces gravitational force of that planet that the whole gravitational force focuses on one point, pulling that object to another direction.

As shown in this picture.

As the object travels downwards, it faces gravitational force from different directions. That is, there is divided gravitational force. As shown in the picture below.

When the body reaches the centre of that planet, it faces equal gravitational force from all sides, making it zero gravity situation. As shown in this picture:
