I have a elevator question . A cable will be stronger enough to reach the atmosphere before it will have the strength to reach earth . How far can it reach now is there any thing to harvest there ? How far do we have to reach into the atmosphere to make it worth wile to harvest? In my mined I hope for a gas station in orbit. I have know idea if it is silly thought or not.

The ribbon will (currently) be made out of carbon nano tubes, which is the only material that has the tensile strength. The problem is creating such a long ribbon out of this material which is problematic as of now.
