Space Elevator

Scientist Imagines Elevator Reaching 62,000 Miles Into Space: This seems so wrong on so many levels.

President Bush wants to return to the moon and put a man on Mars. But scientist Bradley C. Edwards has an idea that's really out of this world: an elevator that climbs 62,000 miles into space.

Edwards thinks an initial version could be operating in 15 years, a year earlier than Bush's 2020 timetable for a return to the moon. He pegs the cost at $10 billion, a pittance compared with other space endeavors.

Wikipedia has a huge article on this concept, in which they say this:

A space elevator would present a considerable navigational hazard, both to aircraft and spacecraft. Aircraft could be dealt with [...], but spacecraft are a more difficult problem. Over a long period of time all satellites with perigees below geostationary altitude would eventually collide with the space elevator, as their orbits precess around Earth.

Yeah, that sounds safe.

Elevator:2010 09/06/2004 11:15 PM

Elevator 2010: Move over XPrize, Elevator:2010 is here. They're offering $50,000 to the best "climber" prototype, with a couple of other contests for some other pieces of the puzzle.

We firmly believe that the set of technologies that underlie the infinite promise of the Space Elevator can be demonstrated, or proven infeasible, within a 5 year time-frame.

And hence our name. Elevator:2010. we promise to get an answer for you by then.

We've talked about space elevators before, and we weren't too optimistic about them.

He shouts, he bangs, he rings the emergency button. The city fathers put on a massive search for him. Three days later somebody decides to figure out why the elevator isn't working."
