I recently came across this article (from 2005) outlining a proposal for a lunar space elevator: http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/library/meetings/fellows/mar05/1032Pearson.pdf
Their is nothing in the article which stands out to me as being unrealistic, although the cost estimate ($10B) might well be optimistic. Are there any technical reasons why this could not be done, and would it offer a more economic method of delivering material to the moon and beyond than existing rocket technology?
