Japan has recently announced that they will have a space elevator by 2050. This amazing elevator will shuttle passengers 36,000 kilometers above the Earth! It will be able to carry 30 people and it will travel at 200 kilometers per hour. The company that will be making this possible is Obayashi Corp. They are still calculating the amount of money that will be used to make this possible, because obviously they can’t put a price on the construction yet. I truly think this is amazing! It’s a dream that is definitely possible and will come true. Imagine being able to see space, the stars, and other planets? That would be truly magnificent. This magical elevator is thirty eight years away. I think I should start saving money now because it is something that I beyond doubt want to be alive for. If the Japanese are able to pull this off it will definitely be a huge breakthrough in technology. It can open doors to other great possibilities. So far, the future has great new things that are waiting for us. Hopefully we all get to witness all these great things in our lifetime because the glimpse of it looks pretty grand.
WOAH!!! Space Elevator! Jocelyn, this is a very interesting blog. It is magnificent, but I'm some what concerned.
ReplyDeleteAn elevator into space is an awesome idea! Too bad the Americans could have not thought about this first, because you would have to fly to Japan to be able to ride this elevator to space.
ReplyDeleteWooo!! That sounds awesome so this means that we can just take an elevator to go to the moon. This sounds great.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh wow i was so shocked can not believe japes were creating a elevator just shocked!!!
ReplyDeleteIf in the future they do complete the construction of the elevator i say we go on it! but then we might be like 50 or 60 something years old. I just hope they let old people get on.
ReplyDeleteOhh daiumm! This look really awesome!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I wouldn't want to miss this for the world, I would want to live to get too so if they do built this awesome elevator.
