daedalus stelde dit idée voor :
At 10 metres per second, which is a reasonably fast pace vertically, it
will
take 46 days to climb a Space Elevator to geostationary orbit. Has anyone
considered the amount of consumables needed to accompany any crew on such
a
journey?

Why use an elevator?? The Apollo crew's went to the moon in 4 days.

Because in theory you can do it a lot more cheaply with an elevator.
