Back in 1895, rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky came up with a plan to make this happen. He proposed the building of a “space elevator” that would reach down to Earth from an orbiting station.
It’s now 2021 and a long enough, strong enough cable has not yet been devised. But rest assured that the Chinese are working on their "carbon nanotubes" version of a “sky ladder.” Success could mean that the cost of space travel is reduced “by over 99 percent.”
