Actually (tho' I don't have the reference at hand right now) I beleive that
some elevators (for example the "spinning skyhook" I was reminded of in a
mail msg today) require materials of strengths of the same order as Kevlar
and graphite finbers --

Also, see this month's Omni about other non-rocket (at least non-normal rocket)
methods of space transport.
