I NEVER LISTEN TO RADIO OR WATCH TV.
I only said that after I said that I may be wrong. Since, however, that seems to offend you would you like me to forgo that and say that I'm always right?
Is there actually much point to this? In order to use it, people will have to replace pretty much all their existing equipment, in which case there are probably better alternatives. I may be wrong though, as I never listen to radio or watch TV.
I think you misunderstood my post. I do not mean an elevator from earth into space. What I meant is an elevator from the maximum height conventional aircraft can reach. If you had done some research you will have discovered that the space elevator can not possible be built from the ground upwards but from a mid-point in space both downwards and outwards simultaneously. While it is probably almost impossible to build it downward to the ground due to current materials, it may be possible to build it at least far enough for conventional aircraft to reach and unload passengers/cargo. Also, what is this space elevator website you speak of?
A lot of people might think I am crazy (I do) but would this material make it possible to build a space elevator?
I'm not talking about a building from earth to space, but more a balanced, free-floating structure from the height limit of conventional aircraft into space. This could eliminate the need for rockets as their job could be done by standard jets, with it then joining onto the elevator and unloading the personnel/cargo.
