That's the case for Earth. This would be on Luna, with about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.

And no wind! But the atmopshere is the reason to build the thing in the first place.

You also can't build one on the Moon because you'd need to reach its "lunastationary" orbit, a point which is more influenced by Earth's gravity than the Moon's.
