I don't know the answer but, I can't help wondering what you plan on towing Huh

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

You can increase the strength of water, by adding Bell's Scotch Whiskey to it...

I don't see any need to increase the strength of the tow rope unless you plan on towing a 747. Shocked

It's not what I'm planning on towing, it's what I plan on towing me (e.g. Space Shuttle Atlantis). Grin

Does it actually need to be stronger? Did you test it?

Cool

Maybe if you had Atlantis accelerate slowly... like say, have an SR-71 tow the spaceshuttle and you up to Mach 4 or so and get up to 100,000 feet, then ignite the rockets. Grin

Of course this relys on some crazy reprogramming of Flight Simulator.
