By my understanding, it's believed it'll be about 20 years before they have the technology to build a space elevator. They need to perfect the nanocarbon tubing technology to build a structure with the tinsillary strength not to tear itself apart first.

So it really will be a few more decades before we figure out the actual feisability of such an endeavour. Would be damn cool though.
