@e would colonize mars before @e can make something like that.?

@o, we get space elevators first.?

@It's debatable, but I am not here to debate that?

@y the time we reach the point at which we can build a space elevator, spacecraft technollogy would have improved so much that it would be actually cheaper to use a spacecraft rather than a space elevator thus rendering it pointless.?

@eah... A 62 mile long elevator...... Sounds reasonable.
