From wikipedia: "A space elevator is conceived as a cable fixed to the equator and reaching into space. A counterweight at the upper end keeps the center of mass well above geostationary orbit level."
Geostationary orbit level is something like 20,000 miles! If I'm not mistaken. How could this even be contemplated.
Anyway, that wasn't planned for here. I'll have to search for some sort of video or explanation how this spinning would work.
