HOW ABOUT A LIFT IN TO THE SPACE?

well, a scientist inspired by the "EIFFEL TOWER" construction had a thought in his mind.He decided to construct a tower of height 348000 km near our earth's equator.At the top of this tower if a person reaches he will be able to easily float in the space,and the tower's speed would match the earth's orbit speed.Neverthless that ain't gonna happen.But the idea is nice isn't it? An american scientist realized that the tower itself wasn't necessary.All that was needed was a rope that could tie the lift from a satellite to the earth. But the only problem is the material with which that rope would me made of. Even steal of width 90 km can't hold that much weight.Well still an american space organization has planned to launch a lift into the space by 2025.They decided to make the rope from "carbon micro nanotubes".
