Uploaded by WatchTheDaily on Jul 22, 2011
Now that the shuttle has been retired, the hunt is on for revolutionary technologies to economically lift cargo and humans into space. And a space elevator just may be the answer. According to renowned physicist Michio Kaku, recent developments in nanotechnology may make this technological marvel a reality by the end of this century.

@LBigJake14 anounced to be build by a japanese inc by 2050... google it ;) (even though its just a non sponssored project, yet we start talking about it ^^)

Imagine getting stuck in there for hot minute (or twenty). What a payload. Sound feasable? Yeah right. Oh, and another thing; who's alien now?
-
Maybe asteroid mining might become feasible then too, if we can transport the ressources energy efficient with an elevator.
-
Just need a million volt power line at 600 hertz to levitate, then you can't get to it at all.

@DMFermiPhysics It's hard to explain in 500 characters. Could you google "hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch System" I think you'll be surprised and intrigued by how simple, light, affordable and doable it is to put up a space elevator. With a *little* funding we could see it up there and putting payloads in orbit for 10 dollars a kg in two or three years.
