   Even if scientists managed to build a space elevator, the risks of such a structure (for example, a collapse due to a terrorist attack or natural disaster) would still be too high.

   If a space elevator collapsed, what would the resulting damage look like on the planet's surface? Assuming the structure is large/sturdy enough to hit the surface.

   Building a space elevator presents so many technical challenges that we might not see one in our lifetime.

   The space elevator idea is a pretty old concept; it was first conceived in the 19th century. Unfortunately, we are still far off from making this dream a reality.

   Space elevators are among the most popular tropes in sci-fi movies and TV shows. A real one could potentially change humanity’s future.
