If you like space elevators you'll love orbital rings. Literal train into the sky!

Love 'em! I think one of Banks' Culture books even has a river running through one. I really believe it's more a matter of when and not if. We probably won't see one, unless longevity treatments become a thing.

Not Banks Orbitals, which are amazing and a fair way into the future, but orbital rings. They're another launch system like space elevators, but have some advantages and drawbacks.
