Was hoping would go to geostationary orbit as an actual space elevator would :)

I suppose it could be livened up by including the orbits of things, but there would still be lots and lots of empty space.

Such a lost opportunity, was hoping for another "space is massive" experience like already done in similar interactive maps.

Would be boring and space elevators are just for fun. They aren't a real idea.
