Finally, if there is nowhere to hang the support or you are unable to get a fixing overhead, the support can be fixed through the side fixing hole enabling the cables to be supported whilst being kept off the floor and because the support has a twist in the lower half of it the cables can easily be attached.In 2000 and 2001, Boeing Phantom Works, with a grant from NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts, performed a detailed study of the engineering and commercial feasibility of various skyhook designs. They studied in detail a specific variant of this concept, called "Hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch System" or HASTOL. This design called for a hypersonic ramjet or scramjet aircraft to intercept a rotating hook while flying at Mach 10. [14] Shirley' quits". The Canberra Times.

Phase I of Boeing's Hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch ( HASTOL) study, published in 2000, proposed a 600km-long tether, in an equatorial orbit at 610–700km altitude, rotating with a tip speed of 3.5km/s. This would give the tip a ground speed of 3.6km/s (Mach 10), which would be matched by a hypersonic airplane carrying the payload module, with transfer at an altitude of 100km. The tether would be made of existing commercially available materials: mostly Spectra 2000 (a kind of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene), except for the outer 20km which would be made of heat-resistant Zylon PBO. With a nominal payload mass of 14 tonnes, the Spectra/Zylon tether would weigh 1300 tonnes, or 90 times the mass of the payload. The authors stated: David Roberts, ed. (2006).

Day 2 for same target: Glue a cardboard circle about 1/2 inch below rim of cup (false bottom). Cover circle with glue and cover with chad/LRPCs. Put on desk. Target will cuss (of course) while trying to edge the cup off the desk without spilling anything thru the assumed hole (yesterday's lesson of punched out bottom). Nothing falls out. Target usually tips cup, and nothing falls out. Target tosses cup with more 'colorful metaphors.' Secondly, by the use of the fixing hole in the top of the support so that it can be screwed upwards, i.e. into a concrete ceiling. Day 3 for same target: Remove cardboard circle/get new cup with bottom punched out. Fill with loose chad as in day 1. Target will cuss (of course) while trying to edge the cup off the desk without spilling anything thru the assumed hole. Will then forget what's going on and toss it or tip it over thus spilling the chad all over. Skyhooks (Musical Group)". Music Australia. National Library of Australia. 23 June 2009.

Some people manage to take hours, or even days, off work while searching vainly for sky hooks, tartan paint, stop bits for the ethernet or the tuning pipe for the foghorn. There's also the mythical punishment of sailors being told off to chip paint with rubber hammers; something on a par with army punishments of trimming the lawn with nail scissors or scrubbing the toilets with a toothbrush. A trainee chemist shop assistant was left to man the counter alone. He was almost immediately asked by a "customer" (actually a colleague) to find a jar of Gnat Tit Ointment. Days later when he is once more alone at the counter, another customer asks him for mothballs. The trainee responded "Mothballs?
