Imagine a situation where one can explore space via lifts instead of rockets.
Believe it or not an age would arise when rockets would be a thing of the past.
Scientists are currently working on a project to connect the space to the earth through as simple an object as a lift. A cable would be anchored to the Earth's surface and another. weight would be attached at the other end of the cable beyond the geosynchronous orbit. An elevator would climb along the cable to the destination.

Imagine the effectiveness of such a project which would replace rocket propulsion and reduce environmental harm. Outer space which is now littered with rocket wastes would then be free of junk.
Is it feasible? Scientists feel so. The main cause for concern is the tether material.
Scientists are looking at carbon nano particles for the purpose.
So get ready for a trip to outer space on a lift.
