Arthur C Clarke allegedly said that the href="http://www.universetoday.com/34799/space-elevator/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">space elevator would be built fifty years after people stopped laughing. The first href="http://www.universetoday.com/25406/space/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">space tower though? well, that might need a hundred years. The idea of raising a structure from the ground up to 100 kilometers in height seems more than a bit implausible by today's engineering standards, given that we are yet to build anything that is more than one kilometer in height. The idea that we could build something up to href="http://www.universetoday.com/34623/geosynchronous-orbit/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">geosynchronous orbit at 36,000 kilometers in height is just plain LOL? isn't it?(...)
