Anyway, what I don´t belive it would easy to do is the hole balance in every condition. I mean, this is supossed to carry heavy payloads, so you have to design a counterbalance to keep the balance with the payload going up (changing the center of gravity of the elevator), and also when nothing is going up... There is a tech site ( here ) with many maths formulas about some problems about the elevator. It´s a litlle old, but interesting. After reading many sites about the elevator I have the feeling that the methods of carrying material to space we have today are in their limits. We are like in "prision" now (in the Earth I mean). We can´t do more than sending a small robot to mars. No more than that. And I also see real interest in such proyect in NASA. This was hard to imagine in the 70´s, so I´m confident that something it´s going on. Isn´t about making a modern shuttle. No, there´s a revolutionary solution to come. I don´t know if would be the elevator as we know today, but something it´s in the "oven"... -------------------- "No branch of the United States Government is currently involved with or responsible for investigations into the possibility of alien life on other planets or for investigating Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's)."
