"An Orbital Elevator is a piece of infrastructure on a planet where ships can dock and transfer people or cargo to and from land into orbit. Elevator's locations are selected to optimize access to land and navigable water and for commercial demand. Some elevators have an important military role, like Palau Lingga. Space elevators are a common construction of the UN and the UNCA, both on Earth and her colonies. There are eleven of them on Earth. It is the safest and cheapest way to travel off-world, hoarding the vast majority of traffic between Earth and its colonies."@en .

It is the safest and cheapest way to travel off-world, hoarding the vast majority of traffic between Earth and its colonies. Orbital Elevators are the safest and most popular way to get off-world. More than 500 million trips were made trough an elevator from Earth in 2170. Another advantage of them are their low costs compared to that of traditional spaceports, thus they are regarded by many as a transport for the \"plebs\". A trip from Gornayinsk Spaceport (Russian Siberia) to a low orbit station for a proper scale costs \u20A113.000 while a ticket on Nairobi Spaceport costs \u20A13.200."@en . .
