Fans of sci fi and fringe tech may already be familiar with the idea of the space elevator which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like and totally impossible with today s technology. A space elevator is essentially a long cable extending from our planet s surface into space with its center of mass at geostationary earth orbit geo 35 786 km in altitude.
Electromagnetic vehicles traveling along the cable could serve as a mass transportation system for moving people payloads and power between earth and space. In the clip much like during a typical airplane ride the colonists sit. 1 space elevator heralded as one of the ways to open up access to space permanently and cheaply a space elevator is an anchored tether that extends into low orbit allowing a car to carry people. The main component would be a cable also called a tether anchored to the surface and extending into space the design would permit vehicles to travel along the cable from a planetary surface such as the earth s directly into space or orbit without the use of large rockets.
Could something like it be in our future. The space station aniara is just a waypoint on their path to mars but the rest of their trip proves less straightforward. Now the pipe dream may be inching closer to reality.
