The Space Elevator, unfortunately, will turn out to be as practical as the DCX.

It seems a little silly to award prizes for merely demonstrating the ability to climg a cable, whether it's 3,000 feet long or not. That's the easy part.
The hard part is developing a material that will allow the deployment of a several hundred mile long (or longer) cable, and demonstrating the capability to actually field it. Even a demonstration of a small step in this direction would be far more impressive than a cable-climbing mechanism.

Imagine you’re on the innaugeral Space Elevator Launch Team. It’s a long ride and you get to choose the music played in the capsule.
What “elevator music” will you choose?
