I don't think the response to terrorism is to stop progress.
Of course not.
Perhaps such a target would be exactly what they'd want to hit, but we Americans don't stop living just because they'd want to kill us, do we?
No, my friend. The idea is to kill the seventh-century savages BEFORE they kill us.
BTW: I would love to see that space elevator before I die. I have always thought it an intriguing idea.

No, my friend. The idea is to kill the seventh-century savages BEFORE they kill us. Then we're in agreement. I thought you were implying we shouldn't build it because they'd target it. Actually, it might be tasty bait to lure the rodents out!
