Правда, он будет начинаться не от Земли, а от геостационарной орбиты.

I think they misunderstood in this article. The cable would extend to the _height_ of the geostationary orbit. It will not actually be in the geostationary orbit as it would be anchored to the moon.

станция on the _height_ of the Earth's geostationary orbit anchored to the moon (т.е. вращается с угловой скоростью луны) будет падать на Землю.

It's a cable attached to the Moon, not a station.

Т.е. начало троса будет притягивать к Луне, а большую его часть - к Земле, и трос должен выдерживать эти напряжения (включая вес грузов и противовесов)

No need for counterweights, that was one of the important points. You can check the computations in the paper, they are probably not too difficult to follow with a bit of math.

Станция, привязанная к луне, упасть не может.
