What floor are you going to?
April 13th, 2003
| The first lift of the so called space elevator has already been planned. On July 1st, 2018 an elevator guided by a thin cable (some centimeters thick) and built by LiftPort will go up to 15000 kilometers away from the Earth.
The main benefit of this would be inexpensive delivery of satellites to space. What is more interesting to me is that it will supposedly make space trips affordable for almost everyone. Not surprisingly, there is already someone making profit out of this. You can read more on space elevators at how stuff works. |
