Visitors enter the universe by a 200km / h elevator
Japan is building a plan to bring tourists to orbit 36,000km above the ground through a giant elevator running at 200km / h.

According to calculations by Japanese engineers, the elevator can carry 30 passengers each time, and reach the destination (traveling 1/4 way to the Moon) after 1 week.
After that, visitors come to the first space station to see the Earth like astronauts without having been trained before.
Space elevator design.
Japan also plans to take scientists outside this space station by using carbon fiber wires connecting Earth with a satellite in the sky.
Obayashi Group announced it would use nanotube carbon technology (20 times stronger than steel) to lift the elevator 96,000km above the ground.
The plan to build this huge elevator is estimated to take 40 years and more than 9 billion USD. The site built on the ground is expected to be a floating platform offshore offshore Ecuardo because of the equator and orbit.
Dr. Satomi Katsuyama, who created the space elevator project, said: 'People always like towering towers. Instead of building from the ground, we will build from space '.
The project leader only has a few days left to complete the highest building in Japan: Tokyo Sky Tower 634m high. This is a digital television antenna, as well as a viewing place.
