Space Elevator  1.0

About This File

Need some more efficient way to go to space? Here it is, a Space Elevator!

(STATS)      LANDMARK ONLY, 2x4, cost:3,000,000 (watch out, obviously it is ridiculously expensive to build such stuff) Monthly cost: 3000, landmark effect=max

I built up to 21100m, including "Stratoshpere Station" at an altitude of 10050m, but you will probably hardly see it.   The tallest BAT ever made?

DUE TO THE WAY IT WORKS, IT CAN BE BUILT ONLY ON EQUATOR.



EDIT: too expensive? Yeah, fair enough, because game balance is more important than numerical realism. The cost is cut down by one digit for everything..

I don't usually comment,. but I built this in one of my nations to give them the "edge" over the shuttle program and I am very happy with it, its near the top of the map so it just dissappears and looks awesome

to all of the people who left comments saying this is impossible, YOU ARE WRONG! this is a very realistic and achievable technology. i have done a lot of research into space elevators and how they would work. a few european countries have invested in technology to design and build a space elevator within the century.

Nice work! Btw, how did you manage to make tunnels of highways and avenues through the waters without ever having bridges? What mod did you use?

space elevator will not happen for real life. If it's meant to go to the moon then...NOT POSSIBLE! because the rotation of the planets. Going to a space station is alright but maybe the same thing.

A space elevator is ment to go to a space station, so then crafts can be boarded to other planets Like maars, saving booster fuel. In 100 years maybe.... GREAT JOB I LOVE SPACE ELEVATORS

That is too realistic! Read your books and newspapers! Building a Space Elevator has been an idea for years!
