The elevator itself would need to extend past LEO into geostationary orbit, but you should be able to get off the elevator in LEO space. As you're going up the space elevator, you would also be picking up horizontal velocity as you ascend. At ISS altitudes there would be enough atmospheric particles to slow you down once you got off, but it would take a while; probably on the order of years. Base jumping would not be a good idea. |
