“An Elevator to Space”

By Suraiya Jabeen

An elevator to space is being built
by the Japanese.
To say the least, it’s rather unique.
How are they going to build it?
Well, here’s what I know about it.
At first, a thin chord will connect our
planet,
to a geostationary satellite in low earth
orbit.
Then a machine will be used to add layers
to it.
When its thick enough, it’ll transport cargo,
eventually it’ll be used for humans also.
Compared to sending shuttles, its a slower
journey.
But it’ll save a lot of energy and money,
this’ll facilitate the setting up of the Mars
colony.
