Literally cheered mention of the Space Elevator during the opening montage of the new season of For All Mankind!

@OliviaVespera have you considered how a Space Elevator fits into Solar Punk? No rockets, no debris burning up in the atmosphere, and it opens up Space to the Masses, whereas with rockets it will only be the domain of the elite.

Our partner organisation, the British Interplanetary Society, is proud to support the 2026 International Space Competition, inviting young people aged 12–19 to design a “Martian Gateway” – a space station in orbit around Mars that links Earth, the Moon and a future Mars base.
The competition is free to enter for individuals or teams of up to three, with major prizes including scholarships and STEM course places. Entries are open worldwide until 31 May 2026.
Find full details and registration via the Arts & Business College of London, follow this link : https://abclondon.org.uk/programmes/stem/space-competition-2026/
Could your Gateway concept include a #SpaceElevator to the Mars surface ? That's for you to decide !

Today there are three known materials strong enough for a #SpaceElevator: carbon nanotubes, hexagonal boron nitride, and single crystal graphene. Single crystal #graphene is currently the most promising. https://www.isec.org/space-elevator-tether-materials
In graphene, the #carbon forms a sheet of interlocked atoms as hexagons one carbon atom ⚛️ thick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

T1200-grade fibre has a tensile strength 💪 10 times greater than ordinary steel, yet it is less than one-tenth of a human hair in diameter. Using 120,000 carbon-fibre filaments twisted together, the carbon-fibre rope has a diameter of under 2mm when taut. It is strong enough to tow a coach 🚍 loaded with 54 adults https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3346398/china-beats-us-japan-carbon-fibre-arms-race-create-worlds-first-t1200-factory

Experts think space lifts may be real by 2050. At last an elevator ride where small talk takes days. https://www.unilad.com/technology/news/future-of-tech-by-2050-robots-736564-20260113 #spaceelevator #scifi #futuretech

Building a space elevator would take great mastery of engineering and materials science.
Would it make a big difference if the anchor station on Earth could move?
Like if we built a railroad around the equator and let the base of the elevator rotate around the Earth, what speed would the train have to be going to make the actual elevator cable portion of the system a lot easier?

For my #space obsessed followers, here’s a fun site that puts you on a #SpaceElevator and lets you ascend through the various layers of the atmosphere - with interesting and fun notes, even #elevatorMusic. What’s not to love? #elevator #science #STEM #fun

A "Space Elevator" sounds like a fun sci-fi idea, but first, let's tackle the real intergalactic challenge: enabling #JavaScript and #cookies. 🚀🍪 Perhaps we should focus on climbing the technological ladder before reaching for the stars? 🌌🤔

@MicroSFF This is how the Space Elevator democratises Space Travel for the rest of us.

Tonight I shall mostly be building farms in the shadow of my city's Space Elevator...

Sorry for the delay in replying! Let’s be clear upfront: we can’t build a fully operational space elevator with today’s technology.
But history shows us that what seems impossible today can become reality tomorrow. When President John F. Kennedy set the goal of landing a man on the Moon in 1961, many thought it was a pipe dream. Yet less than a decade later, the Apollo program succeeded, proving that with determination, innovation, and investment, the impossible can be achieved. So, while ambitious, a space elevator is a plausible future project.
Trying to be as objective as I can, here’s a more nuanced take on feasibility — starting with economics. A space elevator would be expensive; estimates vary, but it’s safe to say it would be a multi-billion-dollar project. To put that in perspective: SoFi Stadium cost $4.9 billion, and the Apollo program cost about $203 billion (adjusted to 2015 dollars). Expert analyses estimate the cost of the first space elevator between $6 billion and $100 billion depending on design and infrastructure included. So financially, it’s ambitious but plausible, especially as a long-term infrastructure investment with transformative potential for space access and sustainable resource use.
The technical challenges are immense, but so are those of every large, unprecedented undertaking. Picture a tether anchored to a mobile ocean platform, gently swaying with the waves, while robotic climbers ascend and descend, carrying cargo and passengers to the stars.
Several organizations, including the International Space Elevator Consortium, are actively developing the technologies and infrastructure needed. While we’re far from the finish line, the potential benefits—significantly reduced launch costs, increased space access, and large-scale space-based solar power—are exciting.
A key technical hurdle is finding a material with sufficient tensile strength. Though it might sound counterintuitive, a space elevator is more like a suspension bridge to space than a giant tower. The concept evolved from building “bottom-up” to a “top-down” approach, where a geostationary satellite deploys a cable down to Earth. Currently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are leading candidates for tether materials. For example, Shizuoka University in Japan is prototyping and testing high-tensile-strength materials in space. The key issues remain: producing suitable materials like carbon nanotubes at scale.
In conclusion, while we can’t build a fully operational space elevator today, overcoming the technical difficulties in the near future is possible. With continued advances in materials science, engineering, and technology, we may soon see the space elevator shift from futuristic fantasy to game-changing reality.
I’m no space engineering expert, so I welcome corrections and insights.

I got looking into companies that are thinking about making space elevators, and ended up looking into luna elevators instead. (LiftPort seems a contender here.) This is a good overview of the luna elevator concept (from 5 years ago).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1ytpj3y21E
Unlike Earth-based space elevators, a luna elevator could reach from the surface of the Moon to close to Earth.What's more, we could make one now, if we wanted to. No exotic new materials needing to be invented.

A fake comic panel for my worldbuilding project. Our protagonist deer is standing in front of one of the tethers stretching all the way into space. Interesting challenge drawing a change in perspective within one panel, but I like the result.
Also I have run out of finished art for buffering the upload, so there maybe won’t be an upload next week. We’ll see.
