This study assumes Space Elevators can and must be built. ÒSpace Elevators: The Green Road to Space,Ó completed in April 2021, emphasizes that Space Elevators will not replace rockets but would join them on parallel paths towards the stars. This Dual Space Access Strategy will carry out the missions that are now planned and ensure the future we dream of becomes a reality. Space Elevators are needed to do the Òheavy liftingÓ for movement off planet. Their transformational characteristics will enable so many of humanityÕs dreams by moving huge mass to far away destinations.
Space Elevator Vision: Space Elevators are the Green Road to Space while they enable humanity's most important missions by moving massive tonnage to GEO and beyond. They accomplish this safely, routinely, inexpensively, efficiently, daily and they are environmentally neutral.
