Space elevator

Perhaps a space elevator is what we need these days:

A space elevator - an alternative to rockets and shuttles - would consist of a 100,000km ribbon of super-strong carbon-based material.

It would be expensive, protracted, vulnerable and beautiful.
Too bad they need a politically stable country. This thing would work marvels in Colombia.
They might also need a geologically stable land. Just a thought.
