An amusing afterthought to my last:

You're flying from Tokyo to London, over the North Pole.  The pilot
announces a rendezvous with the Earth-Moon tether tip.  The plane touches
down on the landing pad there.  Some people get off, others get on.  A
passenger takes the seat next to you.  He looks very tired.  He pulls
something out of his pocket.

"Want to hold a moon rock?" he asks.  "I've also got a chunk of a captured
asteroid...."

And you act bored.  Because that's SO two years ago.
