So we've got Fast Track to Heaven, Alien 3.2, Tim Lebbon's DH Press pitch and that Earthbound pitch. Folk love them some space elevator.

A space elevator also featured in one of the Total Recall 2 ideas.

One of the best utilized space elevator stories was Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars trilogy.  At one point it crashed and wrapped itself around Mars...

An express space elevator to hell, goin' down!

I liked how the Rage War had space elevators, and we get to see the aftermath of a destroyed one where its remains dotted the planet it was built on.

Interesting. I just found a nice video which explains this kind of space transportation.

Every time he says "my alien script" i remember that Ridley very specifically said that
there was only ever a pitch document and no complete script.

Blomkamp's career has been consistently trash, tho.

Yeah but then there's Cameron and Weaver who said they read the script. And Ridley who previously said that the first draft was done and that he had read it.
