	Article: Orbital Railroads: Beanstalks and Space Fountains, by Paul Lucas
		A Space Fountain of about 2000 kilometers in height is thought to require the constant input energy of a modern city to maintain; it therefore may not be too economically viable to build fountains much higher than this.
		Space Fountain structures, if ever built, will in all likelihood be built with multiply-redundant support streams; Forward in his book mentioned a minimum of three, with up to six or eight per individual structure, each with its own independent power supply.
		A fountain tower could also be used as a super-sized arcology, research facility, industrial center, or more as a fountain 100 kilometers high and 100 meters wide at its base would have about 7.85 entire cubic kilometers of volume the designers could use for just about anything.

Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, are helping astronomers understand the extraordinary deaths of ordinary Sun-like stars.
