The sky-hook space elevator
Years ago when author Arthur C. Clarke wrote about this concept I was intregued because it seemed a most reasonable thing to do. It seems now that others agree too.
After Clarke wrote "The Fountains of Paradise," which included the space elevator concept, he was asked when such devices might actually come into use. His response: "Probably about 50 years after everyone quits laughing."
