Hope it works out. The country 1st to get the elevator will dominate the next century in economics.

nah, i would give that to the first fusion reactor.
unlimmited clean energy? yes please, a space elevator is nothing unless there is commerce in space, which there isn't much of if any atm.


anyways
2050 seems like a pretty long ways away at the rate technology increases i would expect it sooner.

This. Especially considering the huge jumps we make with Nano technology.
