***SPAM*** NP: Ad Coelum

[David Morris]

The hanging skyscraper is very silly, but an offshoot of the space elevator.

Space elevator (SE) is for affordable travel off the planet.  It doesn't
consider the value of real estate along that vertical route.  That value
I'm sure changes as one gets further into space.  Think of the possible
markets. Also, the built real estate might be vertically mobile.
Permutations abound.
