Exploring Space: The Future of Orbital Travel

The cosmos has always been and remains one of the greatest mysteries that captivate humans with its vastness and unattainability. Many dream from childhood of venturing into outer space beyond Earth and exploring life beyond our planet. Japanese company Obayashi has taken on the bold challenge to turn this dream into reality by making incredibly expensive space travel more accessible to the masses. By 2050, the construction corporation plans to launch the world's first orbital elevator, simplifying human movement in space and significantly lowering costs in the process.

Currently, the concept of launching an orbital elevator may sound peculiar, but in about 30-40 years, having such a connection to orbit and space in general will no longer be surprising. While currently only fantastically wealthy individuals can afford this type of travel, in fifty years, space tourism will become a mainstream form of entertainment.

At present, the ambitious project of the globally renowned corporation is in the development stage under the guidance of the most experienced specialists. It is planned that the elevator will move at a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour, utilizing a lightweight cable made of super-strong material. The cable will connect Earth to a remote orbital station, which will house not only a research laboratory but also a hotel for tourists.

The impetus for this massive and complex project arose in connection with the development of materials that surpass steel in strength and reliability by several hundred times, ensuring the safe movement of people and various amounts of cargo of different weights.

Construction company Obayashi constantly organizes various contests and tenders aimed at finding optimal solutions for the elevator's structure. Through competition, developers discover the most creative and effective ways to select and combine materials and plan the immediate structure of this orbital connection.

The elevator's strength is ensured by centrifugal force. This structure will be equipped with a lift, the movement of which will accelerate due to the planet's rotation, allowing for the transportation of cargo far beyond Earth's gravitational pull. It is essential to consider that the cable requires incredibly high tensile strength combined with low material density. Carbon nanotubes are likely to be used for making the cable, meeting all the aforementioned conditions based on previous calculations.

At the initial stage, the project is estimated to cost approximately $12 billion, but this is far from the total amount.

If the company succeeds in bringing this grand idea to life, in the near future, a vast number of Earth's inhabitants will be able to embrace space tourism and see the world through different eyes.
