Geoff Manaugh, over at BLDBLOG has an entry on Space Elevators. For more background on the science and construction, though, I refer you to the Wikipedia entry. Arthur C. Clarke wrote a novel around the building of a space elevator: The Fountains of Paradise. I wonder whether I shall live to see one actually being constructed?
