I distinctly recall Arthur C Clarke talking about this in "3001," but the article says he first mentioned it in a Sci-Fi book in 1979. I would say the cost would be far too prohibitive, but the article says it could happen in our lifetimes. Maybe not mine specifically, but at least in the lifetime of a younger person. www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/10/02/space.elevator/index.html

SURE! Why of course it would/could work, and be affordable! BUT, some asshole texting his pals in a space craft would orbit right into it and kill millions! ><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!
