Higher spin rates

Hi Tom

Easier to adapt to higher spin rates - which gives a lower radius and lower stress. But with carbon nanotubes in Space Elevator lengths I think the problem will be licked.

I think Bell is wrong on low-gee adaptation being just like no gee, but that's just an intuition. Solid data will be good.
