    Japanese construction giant Obayashi first talked about building an elevator into space a few years ago, and this week it wants everyone to know it hasn’t given up on the idea.

    If/when this happens it will be a game changer and space industry and tourism will become a reality.

    It would be like sticking an antenna on a basketball.
    Soon enough it's going to get broken off - then it'll be just another pile of space rubbish..

    Is it going to go like 2,000MPH?

    Or will it just take a 42 days to get there?? (if going 60 MPH for the entirety of the trip)


    1 month there, 1 month back.. And that's just to get the boring part of space.
