View story 2 0 Space Elevator by 2030 Possible http://www.positivefuturist.com/default-blog.asp?Display=879 Submitted by transfuture 13 months, 4 days, 21 hours ago Space elevator: audacious idea will open space to entrepreneurs By Dick Pelletier “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the Space Elevator. Your first stop will be ‘Hotel Row’ where we will enjoy a 2-hour dinner under the stars; then we continue on to the Geosynchronous Way Station where most of you will transfer to an L-5 Colony shuttlecraft. This entire ride takes 8 days, so sit back and enjoy the trip from your luxury sleeping quarters”. This scene may sound like science fiction, but it is not. According to visionaries, the Space Elevator, a revolutionary means of transport from Earth to space could become reality by as early as 2030 or before.
