Space elevator

Hi David,

Have a little question for you. In the article Space elevator under the heading "Materials" there is the following sentence: With Space Elevators like this, Humans can send materials into orbit at a fraction of the current cost (from around $30000 today to $3 per kg, a factor of 10⁴!).

You added the numbers. Could you tell me from what source you have the figure $30,000? I guessed you had the $3 per kg with a space elevator from the webpage of NASA which was the only webpage in the article when you added those numbers. But when I went to this webpage http://flightprojects.msfc.nasa.gov/fd02_elev.html I couldn't find the number $3 per kg. In the pdf on that webpage I found "<$10/kg" and also a cost only based on the energy consumption of this type of space elevator "$1.48/kg".

Could you please tell me the sources where you got those numbers from? If there's no year with them telling in what year the estimate was made in a few years they won't be very useful anymore because of inflation. Moreover conventional ways of launching to geosynchrous orbit could become much cheaper as well.

Thanks a lot in advance, Laudaka 04:26, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) (Paul/laudaka)

Hi Laudaka,

Thanks for asking. I'll put the answer to your talk page. --David Andel 23:52, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Your user page

Hello, I found your user page while doing some wikiarchaeology. . I have restored all of its earliest surviving revisions from old copies of the Wikipedia database, so they are available to everyone now. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 05:27, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
