The part of the space elevator/bean stalk concept enthusiasts usually brush
under the carpet is it's horribly slow ascend speed, especially to GEO. Have
ideas for ascending faster come forward in the mean time? Vertical maglev
trains perhaps?

IMU that was the concept all the time for the real thing.

        24h to GEO or thereabouts?


What did you have in mind? rack-and-pinion :-?
