Skyhook Equator - animator-calculator
This links to my Wordpress blog which in turn links to my Skyhook Equator web-page script program which animates selected sizes of skyhooks launching from equatorial skies to Earth orbits and which calculates launch G-forces etc.

Related - my spreadsheet of calculations for lunar skyhooks which suggests that a skyhook radius of 250km to 300km would be right for landing on and taking off from the Moon with only 1G so the skyhook could also serve as a 1G lunar space station.
