Japanese construction giant Obayashi says they will build a 60,000 mile long space elevator by 2050

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The Japanese construction giant Obayashi says they will build a space elevator that will reach 96,000 kilometres into space.

Robotic cars powered by magnetic linear motors will carry people and cargo to a newly-built space station, at a fraction of the cost of rockets. It will take seven days to get there.

Using a space shuttle costs about $22,000 per kilogram to take cargo into space. For the space elevator, the estimate is about $200.

Nextbigfuture does not believe an earth based space elevator will be built. One on the moon or Mars would make sense. This does not. There are easier and cheaper ways to get into orbit with lower costs.

A Spacex Falcon heavy could launch 53000 kilograms to low earth orbit for $85 million

Fuel Depots in low earth orbit would drastically lower the cost to geosynchronous orbit.
