The Space Elevator A Step Closer

The Space Elevator first envisioned by Konstantine Tsilkovsky in 1895 during a trip to Paris (while viewed the nearly completed Eiffel Tower, he turned it upside down in his mind and imagined it hanging from space) has taken a small step closer to reality. A device climbed 2953 feet a thread dangling from a helicopter.
