In his 1979 novel, Fountains of Paradise, Arthur C Clarke imagines
a cable stretching from the Earth's equator to Geosynchronous
orbit. He called it a "space elevator" and imagined it would be
constructed from continuous pseudo-one-dimensional diamond
crystals. Bangalore based NoPo Technologies is now commercially
producing Carbon Nanotubes. Could this material, one day be used to
construct Clarke's space elevator?
