I was thinking at least LEO, not Everest.

[Nodraak]

Indeed, sorry. I focused on "higher up" while the important part was "gravity well"

[marcosdumay]

LEO is as much a speed as it is a height.

[adrianN]

Obviously? When you want to manufacture things you probably don't want to fall back down right away.

[marcosdumay]

Well, I misunderstood your gravity wheel comment for a static position too.

[NeutronStar]

That's still only 10% less gravity, the thing is the ISS goes really fast sideways. Being high isn't enough.
