Status

The climber has the most engineering work that needs to be done and the most opportunity for individuals and groups to get directly involved.

Work Needed

Item Notes Completed and Ongoing Efforts
Full review and independent assessment of lunar base proposal Viability, issues, business or other rational for doing this.
Full review of Solar Power Satellite concept Realistically do we need SSP? If so review and evaluate Kellum's work. Categorize potential sponsors for such a system - Japan, British Petroleum,..., also is manned presence required if so evaluate geostation viability
Evaluate tourism potential Based on current space tourism studies, what is the best business case for tourism with the space elevator - 8 hour trips to LEO, 24 hour trips to LEO, 3 week trips to a GEO station,...?
Evaluate long-term economic impact of a space elevator for investor/owner How rich do owners become in various scenarios, how would an elevator affect the builder's economy (U.S., Japan, Germany, Korea, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia, ...)
