Space elevators built by 2025? That would be awesome, how high would it go? What would the tether be made out of? Check out this video below for more on this.

Are Space Elevators a Realistic idea?

Of course, we all have fantasies of riding an elevator into space. What about something smaller? Space elevator concepts often talk about going 30,000 miles into space. That’s a lot of building material. What about going 10-20 miles up? Then launching with a space plane or space transfer craft to get into orbit, or higher? These space towers might be more realistic and plausible. One Canadian company has already received a patent for one.

Maybe a space tower is a better, and more realistic, goal to aim for.
