killamch89 Posted January 22, 2025 Posted January 22, 2025 With the potential for space elevators to drastically reduce the cost of launching payloads into orbit, how do you think their development could shape the future of space exploration? Would they make interplanetary missions more feasible, or perhaps pave the way for regular space tourism? What challenges remain in their design and implementation, and how soon do you think we'll see a functioning space elevator?
