Earth-Moon Fire Pole
Unfortunately it is inaccurate.<p>Actually, the person sliding the pole would be like an object changing orbit. Remember, Moon orbits Earth. Even at L1 you can&#x27;t just push yourself and coast along the pole. The movement along the pole is changing orbits and as we know this requires energy. In this case if you push yourself along the pole you would suddenly find yourself drifting away from it.<p>That&#x27;s of course if you could create a rigid pole. As every piece of the pole would be on a different orbit there would be huge forces acting on the pole.
