Elevator to space..

[Redx]

Forget the roar of rocketry and those bone jarring liftoffs, the elevator would be a smooth 62,000-mile (100,000-kilometer) ride up a long cable. Payloads can shimmy up the Earth-to-space cable, experiencing no large launch forces, slowly climbing from one atmosphere to a vacuum.

Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, Venus, the asteroids and beyond - they are routinely accessible via the space elevator. And for all its promise and grandeur, this mega-project is made practical by the tiniest of technologies - carbon nanotubes.

I dont know if this is plum retardness or ...retarded. :huh:

yeah that would be really bad if it broke midway through, This thing reminds me of a project i had to do last year . I had to do a report on this thing called Sky City it was a boat that would go around the world but the thing was that it would hav a city on it with schools, malls , and everything.
