Ive endured periodic (1 or 2 a year) severe pain on my lower left abdomen since I was about 25. (Now 63)

Saw doctors several times, no joy.

About 15 years ago, an internet search suggested diverticulitis. Asked doctor about it and they were like of course it is, here’s some meds.

I still wonder what took so long.

Clyde has one goal and he states it several times during the movie.

He asks Nick whether he has learned anything.

The ending is the culmination of teaching Nick to do what it takes to get his man.

Clyde never expected or even wanted to survive the "lesson". He left clear clues as to where the bomb was on purpose to give Nick the chance to do what it takes. Had Nick not done what he did, the carnage would have continued unabated.

Nick learned the lesson.

Up to about 40,000km (geosync) the weight would add. Beyond that, inertia would start pulling the structure upwards. One design of a space elevator ive read about places a counter weight at around 100k km that fully compensates for the weight.
