I think 15 years is overly optimistic but it's one for todays toddlers to look at as they grow up.

Interesting idea, but seems to lack practicality unless, at the top of the "elevator" is a spaceship that has been prepared for deep space exploration. Besides, with any structure like that today, we have to consider the potential for terrorism. What happens if terrorists destroy the "cable" where it attaches to the earth?

I find the current trend toward teleportation to be more exciting and of more use once it is perfected.
