Summary Space elevators dwell in the realm between science fiction and the science of possibility. The concept has been studied enough to understand the basic design and construction concepts. But it would require a very strong yet light weight cable. Carbon composites are now (2021) the best available candidate but the economics are doubtful. And that is just one of the engineering challenges.
