Launch loop earth to high orbit launch system

note: pretty image is NOT to scale. From hundreds of kilometers away, decimeter cross sections are invisible. Also, there probably won't be stations at altitude, vehicles will climb the inclines. Wind loading will be compensated with propellers. No time to add them to the image
