Is an elevator to space a crazy idea? The Japanese don’t think so and will soon begin to test the practicality. It doesn’t seem to me that this could be a permanent, stable installation. With so much space junk floating around, not to mention asteroids, etc., it would have to be VERY resilient, imho.
