Re: OT: About Space Elevators
Just being that tall would make it the mother of all lightning rods, to say nothing of all the interesting effects it might have on global weather (and vice versa).
However, planes can take direct hits from lightning and keep going; if the car is on the outside, or cleared before a storm, I don't think a hit would do THAT much.
