Space Elevator
The Japan Space Elevator Association hopes to be instrumental in getting the first real working space elevator built, a device that Arthur C. Clarke imagined decades ago in his 1979 book "The Fountains of Paradise." The elevator, anchored by 22,000 mile long superstrong carbon nanotube cables, would link to a satellite in geostationary orbit, vastly reducing the cost of space travel and research by eliminating the need for costly rocket booster takeoffs
