Seriously, it's only a matter of time before Elon Musk announces the space elevator.

  Space elevator on earth doesn't really make much sense. On Mars maybe, it will happen on Mars way before it happens on earth.

    Space elevators conflict with satellites, so not really advisable.

      On Mars it would actually clash with one of the moons. But if you coordinate 1000s of pods correctly you can let the elevator wiggle so it never gets hit by the moon. It sounds insane but its doable. Check out the talk about elevators from Mars Society conference.
