I don't know; it seems more likely that more R&D in, just, launching, would be way more cost effective, quicker, and less restrictive than a single massive elevator (of course, there could be more)

"At present we have a tether which is made of carbon nanotube, and has one-third or one-quarter of the strength required to make a space elevator. We expect that we will have strong enough cable in the 2020s or 2030s,"
THAT strong?! A cable that can stretch 60 miles up?!
