wait, wait, wait...
The Moon orbits the Earth. Are they proposing a static elevator between the two? I see this ending poorly, yet expensively at the same time.

A more efficient method would be to wrap the cable around the moon. This way, there would be a second cable returning to earth, creating an up as well as down elevator of sorts. By installing little cable cars, just about anyone could visit the moon. I hope they consider this as I would like to visit several relatives who live there.

solar-powered "climbers'', each carrying up to 20 tons, would crawl up a single cable into space over several days That suggests no counterweight. Solar power is going to be tricky.

If you're in a space hotel at 22,000 miles, and the cord breaks, what happens? You should just hover there until you can be recovered, right? Or would you be thrown out into space?

Doesn't this whole space elevator episode end with aliens and a 'cookbook'??? LOL!

This'd be great until some one flies an airplane into it.
