Delta-V here&#x27;s a good map <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;SqdzxzF.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;SqdzxzF.png</a><p>The Delta-V required to get from the surface of the earth to leo is 9-10, meaning it requires less energy to launch a payload from the moon to earth&#x27;s LEO than from the surface of the earth to LEO.
This can even be more optimized using aerobraking, anything that will be launched (or flung) from the launch platform of the space elevator will have higher orbital velocities than an object in LEO so what you really need to do is to slow down.
Because there is still a pool of gravity the object will be in free fall so it only requires relatively small delta-v to bring it down to a lower orbit and you can use the atmosphere to both slow it down further (which can cut down on fuel) and if you design your delivery vehicle correctly can even get into very interesting orbits cheaply by skipping on top of the atmosphere and using the earth for gravity assist.
