The frontiers of space tourism - SilverKris
"Scientists at a leading Beijing university report having developed a carbon-nanotube fibre they claim could be strong enough to build a space elevator. The concept—originally proposed by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1895—envisions sending an orbital counterweight tethered to Earth with a super-strong cable; gravity and centrifugal force would keep the cable taut and allow cabins to travel along its length." - Delle Chan
