See http://www.niac.usra.edu/studies/ and find the space elevator
studies by Bradly Carl Edwards. There are two. His approach is very
clever and is significantly less impossible than any other space
elevator concept I've seen. It actually looks almost as possible as
landing a man on the moon must have looked in 1961.

The dinosaurs weren't spacefaring. We are. I don't think that's an
accident. Maybe we are life's taxi to the stars.
