A space elevator is a concept for a "lift" of sorts to raise things out of the gravity well of the earth. It's basically a long, strong "cable" that is tied to earth and to a counterweight out in space. Materials are loaded into "cars" on the cable, and the units "crawl" up the cable to break free of earth's gravity. A link can be found below.

How long does it take to go up the elevator at Seattle's Space Needle?
It takes 43 seconds
Will a space elevator ever be built?
As of now (2008) technology it is not practical to make materials that are sufficiently strong and light to build an Earth based space elevator. This is because the weight of conventional materials needed to construct such a structure would be far too great.
There are 15 people in an elevator and 7 people in another elevator which elevator is more dense and why?
The first elevator is more dense because it has a higher number of people (15) compared to the second elevator (7), even though both elevators may have the same physical dimensions. Density is calculated by mass (number of people in this case) divided by volume (elevator space), so in this scenario, the first elevator is more densely packed with people.
How fast does the space needle's elevator go?
10 mph or 16 km/h
Do you get in an elevator or on an elevator?

Space tourism-traveling to space?
I know of one method that has been suggested for space tourism. It is a space elevator made from "Buckyballs" which is Carbon-60. It is stronger than diamond and maybe strong enough to support a shuttle on a tower that reaches into space!
