 Another idea that has been granted is being developed by Thoth technology in Canada, this is being called the first plausible space lift which will extend 12.4 miles into the air with a runway on top. this will have lifts running on the outside of it to propel people to the top to then board a spaceship tat wont need to use rockets to reach the edge of the atmosphere as it has already covered 12.4 miles. this can then provide a new tourism market and commercialise space travel and tourism. http://thothx.com/news-2/ video. ]]> 2016-09-30 10:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/162683/nt1ucvu5iql8/wish/127477052
