Quote:Someone said there wasn't a tether anchoring the city to the surface, but the wiki says there is. If the tether is there, are there any facilities at the base of it?
The whole bit about the tether stems from the most improbable part of the terraforming of Venus, the Big Spin. I can't remember if it's in the VTP article on the wiki, but the idea was that, eventually, the cities would anchor to the planet and then use their gravity engines to increase Venus's rotation until it hit a proper 24 hour day, instead of the 200-something day rotation it has OTL.
