This really looks interesting, I hope it works out.

 

[Killer Mantis]

Seems like it would be a long ride to the top...would suck if someone farted.

 

[i3urnin_Up]

Yeah, I heard about that a few years ago. It sounds sick

 

[Meowmitch]

Lol will have tons of problems,won't happen.

 

[gRoy]

And who better to think of this first than Zeppelin.
Stairway to Heaven (fatass version)

 

[MexicoSucks]

Wont happen.


I could totally thing it did though if I was on LSD....

 

[Appeal To Reason]

As if.

nuff said.

 

[Gilly]

Imagine a something as wide as well, just not that wide
going up a couple thousands meter up in the sky
with no support
has to be coherent with the satellite and earth...

meh
doubt this would happen...Too much risks...

 

[Appeal To Reason]

Could finally fuck people on the elevator

People could just climb up my dick and be in space though...

Was that supposed to be funny?

Coming from a guy that says "as if nuff said"?

I really doubt this would happen. It would be a looong ride up and a looooong ride down

 

[white_razor0]

"Hey..", "Hi " "What floor?" "Oh, Space Please!"

The structure it's self would be almost impossible.

How do you put the roof on the thing? a flying space crane?

 

[Genie83]

Fuckin' A
Stupid little hypocrite he is.

Would you give someone a handjob? No.
Would you accept one? Yes.

You are hypocritical too.

Imagine getting stuck in that elevator...

 

[Magic Arrow]

What a stupid and impossible idea.

 

[ThisIsMax]

And then a plane flies into it and it all gets destroyed...

 

[Avenuve]

Stupid idea would never work it wouldnt be stable enough

 

[dragonfire455]

This thread is full of troll.


This won't happen. It's bullshit for now.

 

[▌WeÅ¡ ▌]

Can't wait to see the death tolls.

 

[Kadaj]

Seen it will be like:

Geoff: Wher are you going on holiday this year then?

Anne: Nowhere special. Me and Dave are just going to space.

 

[JordanyRyan]

Solution: Ask Willy Wonka.

I think it is highly possible within the next 50 years or so. Like the article said, the next 50 years is just perfecting the technology we already have, so why do you guys keep saying its impossible? why do you think so? Did you even read the article?

"The space elevator appears much closer to reality than has been suspected in terms of available technology, cost and schedule," Edwards said. "The major hurdle is the required carbon nanotubes, but that's getting closer each day,"
