Experts say a space elevator could be possible with current technology, especially if we were to build it on the moon. A lunar elevator would not have to contend with the Earth's gravitational force or space debris. There are still many details to iron out, though, including how to build such a monumental structure.
Why space elevator is not possible?
The biggest challenge of building a space elevator may be the 100,000-kilometer-long tether. It would have to be incredibly strong to handle the gravitational and centrifugal forces pulling on it. The steel used in tall buildings wouldn't work for a space elevator cable.
Is a space elevator realistic?
A space elevator is possible with today's technology, researchers say (we just need to dangle it off the moon) Space elevators would dramatically reduce the cost of reaching space but have never been technologically feasible.
