Nanotechnology breakthroughs have its developers expecting to have it up and running within twenty-five years. Hear Liftport president Michael Laine talk to Earth & Sky about making this nanotube ribbon to the stars a reality. (photo Liftport Group)

Add your response to Nanotube ribbon could make space elevator a reality: Response from: moorthy (10/24/06 3:21pm) hi moorthy pls see it Response from: Decorator (10/25/06 8:57am) Ok, this nanotube sounds impressive, but what practical use will it have? Response from: UK flowers (10/28/06 2:48pm) Few people will buy this news because it is incredibly unbelievable. It can have many usages but they are not yet prepared to launch. Response from: timberland mules (11/01/06 2:51pm) Like what? Who needs and elevator to outer space? I'm having trouble getting to my flat on the 10th floor, I'd be happy to have my elevator working, forget about the Sci-Fi stuff!
