Default Space elevator will be built around 2015

On Fri, 19 Sep 2003 14:18:16 +0200, in a place far, far away, Steen
Eiler Jørgensen made the phosphor on my
monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

Thousands, if not millions will travel into space.


Why? Where should they be going? To GEO? Wow. Remember (even if you
build the darned thing), travelling at 65 mph, it's going to take two
weeks to get there!


Why would one only travel 65 mph? Where in the world did you come up
with such a ridiculous number?
