LiftPort Wants To Build Space Elevator On the Moon By 2020

They're forgetting the single most important part of a space elevator: It needs to actually be useful.

What are we going to do with a space elevator on the moon? We don't go there for a very good reason: Its expensive as hell. Making the cheap and easy part a little cheaper an easier isn't going to change the fact that the entire rest of the trip is prohibitively expensive.

It's like your friend moving across town to be closer to you, but he lives in Seattle and you live in London.
