I was wondering... they say by 2019, we should have some sort of space elevator thing going on. What do you guys think about that? Is that a reasonable...
Time is not as important as money, here. With proper funding, I don't see why we shouldn't have a space elevator by 2019. However, one should think about the...

I'd say 'uncalculable damage' is an overstatement. If I recall correctly, the potential damage for the breaking of a 'ribbon design' elvator has been...
... It depends on where it breaks, of course. If it breaks (somebody blows up the tethering place on the floating platform, flies a plane into it, or it gets ...
"Incalculable damage" can't be an overstatement at all : it simply means you can't predict the damage. It may be $1 or many kajillion dollars, you can't ...
"Time is not as important as money, here. With proper funding, I don't see why we shouldn't have a space elevator by 2019." You're quite right. We often...

Screaming, yes! It would be better up than down. It would take some thrust to maintain position and altitude while pulling the ribbon up, but it would be more...

OK, so winding it up would be done by fabricating tubes like the spiral tubes you got in a roll of paper towels, or how they make Trident missles. Up and down...
