Alright, so I'm kind of afraid of being in a regular elevator in the first place.  I still go in them and everything, but not one that extends all the way to space.  However, if this thing is built and they have vacations in space and stuff like that, I might just have to get over that fear.

This thing has been talked about on Discovery channel whenever they mention transportation of the future. It's pretty cool, but you couldn't pay me to do it. I can't stand the thought of getting stuck in an elevator on the third floor, much less 30,000 feet.
