... the border between fiction and reality. Wow, I remember reading about space elevators in different science fiction novels, most notably for me the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

I never realized the idea had been around since at least 1895! That was definitely an imaginative, forward-thinking guy. Any other sci-fi fans interested in this? Any of keep up with this more closely?
