Mars has a third Earth's gravity. You could just climb up the rope.

Also video is now up to 2.5 million views. I was kinda shocked when for a while it looked like it wouldn't pass their Falcon Heavy animation.

climbing while ina  suit? lol  i think the low gravity would make it easier to just have a handcrank backup.  especially for cargo lol

I was correct for once!

@BArtusio Three cable elevator on a crane. Wind force on Mars is low, so don't need to worry about being blown around.

Yeah you could climb without your legs.

Ship will probably have a 3D printer so they don't need as many backups.

i still think they should have one as a manual backup lol  hard to carry cargo down a rope lol

i guess we will see in time lol
