SPACE travel could one day be as easy as getting in a lift thanks to a new proposal.
A team of scientists have been working on a concept called Spaceline, which is essentially a type of ‘space elevator’ intended to link Earth and the Moon.
The design is so ground-breaking because it could drastically cut the cost of space travel by harnessing solar power instead.
Researchers at Columbia University and Cambridge University published their concept in the preprint server ArXiv.
The Spaceline would be attached to the surface of the Moon and dangle down the Earth’s orbit.
All astronauts would have to do is fly their rocket into the Spaceline ... Read even more
