first of all, ever heard of a space elevator?? Serious consideration has been going on over at NASA (even in the 60's) to make an elevator to the legrange point between earth and move. It would be built with nano-carbon technolohy (what it is is small peices of carbon that are formed in a special way that makes them 100 times stronger than steal, essentially harder than diamond, the hardest substance). At first, NASA thought they could find enough diamond somewhere to make the elevator (the core of Jupitor) if it was made of diamond. Jeez, most of this info can be found in sci-fi books as well (ever read 2001: A space oddesy? Hello Dave) Anywho, nano-technology has come so far that a elevator may be possible in the near future.
