00:00:03,573 --> 00:00:06,936
It's an old dream
of many science fiction fans,

2
00:00:06,996 --> 00:00:09,762
a lift to a space station.

3
00:00:10,204 --> 00:00:14,239
From here it should be possible
to travel deep into space.

4
00:00:15,790 --> 00:00:21,054
The base station is used
to anchor an extremely strong cable.

5
00:00:21,529 --> 00:00:26,142
The elevator should
slide upwards like on a rail.

6
00:00:29,501 --> 00:00:32,163
Unfortunately, there is still no material

7
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:35,355
that would be strong
enough for such a cable.

8
00:00:36,778 --> 00:00:41,539
So the lift into space remains a dream.
