"settling for a more modest goal – building an elevator on the Moon"
Did someone just use the words "settle" and "building on the moon" in the same sentence? Who are these people?
Where are the billions of dollars this is going to take? How the hell are they going to prototype it?
Do they realize that 2020 isn't some lofty far off time these days? That's a bit more than 7 years.
If NASA, Russia, or China (or Elon Musk) said they were going to try this, I'd be excited. But this shit is not going to happen like this, lets just be honest.
