No dangerous missile launches and expensive space ships, but just take the elevator to the room: would not that be great? As far as the Japanese company Obayashi, this 2050 reality.
company Obayashi
Obayashi is working on a space elevator that you can bring. Up to 96.000 km space The lift should both people and goods can be transported upwards and at much lower cost than a spaceship. The destination of the lift is a space to be built and it will probably take about seven days before you arrive there by elevator.According Obayashi is not easy to achieve, the space elevator especially because some of the required materials completely are not available. The current developments in the field of carbon nanotechnology, however, may play anyway (relatively) fast to get. The project off the ground a significant role Yoji Ishikawa, Research & Development Manager at Obayashi, argues that the current steel cables are not strong enough to a space elevator. However, a cable with carbon nanotechnology can be a hundred times stronger and so is indeed strong enough. This seems one of the main problems already solved, except that at present only 3 cm nanotubes can be made. So there is still a long way to go, but Ishikawa is convinced that it all has to succeed in 2030 to achieve a suitable cable. Then it will apparently take another twenty years before you can step into the elevator and really watching. Seven days later from space to earth
