		+	There are two types of mass drivers (theoretically): Pure mass drivers with catchers in orbit, and projectile mass drivers that send elements that can put themselves in orbit by trajectory change.

		+
		+	In the text the position of a space elevator might be slightly off the equator; it seems that the horizontal force for a not perfectly vertical space elevator could be handled by regular constructions, but to be confirmed.
		+
		+	The text also could be clearer regarded chemically driven rockets proposals and actual rail guns/magnetic lauchers/mass drivers.
		+
		+	The space Elevator has problems with Phobos.
		+
		+	The mass driver probably has a much higher mass throughput than a space elevator, that is very long and required a large number of cars, or of 'ways' to get any kind of volume to space.
