   I dont think it s moving this fast as compared to much fasters orbit

   the cable , ribbon, would have to be very thin to exist so it would not   
   be able to carry much power without dammage (?)   
      
   the (I think) only (now) conceivable way to build it is to produce a   
   composite (epoxy ..)with short carbon nanotubes .. it's not expected to   
   be conductive
