Space Elevator - Makes Space Colony Reality Possible

Earlier this year at TEDx Talk, Markus Landgraf gave a talk about the near realities of Space Elevators and what they can mean for expediting space travel and establishing space colonies with the increased ability for transportation of materials out of our atmosphere and into space.
An elevator to space in its simplest form is having a long cable anchored to the earth, and the cable extends up to a satellite like object that is orbiting our earth. Then we can utilize a vehicle or elevator-like compartmentthat would pull itself up and out into space.
Space Elevator Carbon Nanotube Fibers
One of the last challenges to overcome to make space elevators a reality is refining the technology of creating the actual cable.
Langraf believes the solution might be in Multiwall Nanotubes (pdf resource). These can actually be grown to make obtaining enough of the material a reality.
Space Elevators Key To Space Colonies
Multiwall Nanotubes very well may unlock the secret to creating the space elevator cables that will give us the ability to transport materials into space to create substantial structures in space, bases or maybe even a lunar elevator to bring space tourists to hotels on the moon, etc.
