So two months ago I wrote about Space Elevators (catch the link here). Looks like it is actually being investigated- and perhaps on a global scale.

The interesting thing is that this technology is on our doorstep. We could very likely see an elevator to space in our lifetimes.
Imagine going up to the 100 thousandth floor... I shutter to think about that trip. Um, no thank you- though having a rocket strapped to my ass isn't exactly a pleasant idea either...
