I published about a "moonthread" idea in Wikipedia and elsewhere in forums more than a decade ago. This notes that such a thread could be used to get cargo from geostationary orbit much further out. Useful.
More lately, I've been advocating in Facebook forums that such a thread be used not as an elevator (there are better ways to move cargo from the moon in the absence of an atmosphere) but as a stable anchor for a moon Lagrange station.
