The space elevator (Classic Dump)

Part of our Classic Dump series.
Enjoy!

Would be great to have one.

The space elevator. A cheaper way to space, the perfect fuel supply, our answer to an easier way to the Moon, Mars or even use it for a new space base. They will be cheaper than rockets and with the help of NASA, The European Space Agency, many colleges, China and Russia, it should be built sooner than what we think...

Same topic with our hero Neil Degrasse Tyson
