Скачать или смотреть NASA’s ‘ELEVATOR’ To Space: Humanity’s Most DANGEROUS Idea Yet

A space elevator is a futuristic idea to transport people and cargo from Earth into space without using rockets. It would work like a tall elevator stretching from the ground up to space, possibly 36,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) high. The elevator would move along a strong cable or ribbon, attached to a base station on Earth and connected to a counterweight in space.

The cable must be extremely strong and light. Scientists suggest using materials like carbon nanotubes or graphene, which are much stronger than steel. The elevator would be powered by electricity, possibly through solar energy or lasers from Earth, making it more eco-friendly than rockets.

A space elevator could make space travel much cheaper and safer. Instead of launching rockets, we could send satellites, supplies, and even people using this elevator. It could also help build space stations or support missions to the Moon and Mars.

Many scientists believe it could be possible in the future, opening new ways for humans to explore space.
