“130 miles to be at the lower end of LEO and service the ISS.” But it’s whizzing by at 5 miles/sec; most of the work is just getting up to speed, isn’t it?

I guess the higher up you go the better, (less air etc?), but unless your elevator is quite a bit higher than these numbers you don’t really get the main savings of a space elevator.
