Hey, that’s a great idea—lots of little black hole-fueled satellites in low-earth orbit, suspending the crust so it doesn’t collapse in on itself. I think we can build this ladder, after all!
edit: I think this falls prey to the shell theorem if they’re in a geodesic orbit, but not if they’re using constant acceleration to maintain their altitude, and vectoring their exhaust so it doesn’t touch the Earth.
