The Elevator To The Moon

“A space elevator capable of taking robots and humans back to the surface of the moon can be built today, a California firm has claimed. The radical Liftport system would allow cheap and simple access to the lunar surface via a ‘ribbon’ cable. Eventually it is hoped a ‘space elevator’ could even take people from earth directly to the lunar surface.”
 — Naturally, they are on Kickstarter. Whatever, it is too early in the week to get worked up about this.
