check out the Zyvex paranah(just type it in to youtube and see what you get!); it's a nanotube composite speedboat. the nanotube material revolution is beginning! This is comparable to the difference between metal(copper versus stone) and stone, and iron versus copper! I've heard a carbon nanotube bridge is about to be built soon as well!
I'm surprised I havn't heard anyone talk about what the latest nanotube breakthroughs could mean for the space elevator prospects.
Some of the latest nanotube breakthroughs that are going to revolutionize this world within a year! appears to be that being able to produce them in quantity at half the temperature than before; also, i think there's been all kinds of different developments that allows them to make the nanotubes of a given sizes.
If we want to get serious about space travel or the industralisation of space, we need to build this thing already. I predict to see a few leading countries build this as nanotechnology improves and makes stronger materials available. Only after this advent, will we be able to comfortably send higher payloads to space and build larger more functional space stations. This is the future and there will be very few things in our way after this age is ushered in. Looking forward to this new age.
Do we have the materials to accomplish this yet? We ought to get on it with all our might, nevermind wars. Imagine how much easier it would be to get out into space, at least our solar system. I read some sci-fi books about Mars can't remember but it had a space elevator. I dream of riding it one day.

I think the price of a space elevator would buy ALOT of space shuttles

I'd take a ride on the space elevator - so there's a bit of income you take to the bank...
