The House Science Committee heard testimony yesterday from several witnesses including Mr. Demish who brought up the space elevator.

"Mr. Demish, an aerospace financial analyst, said the large costs associated with space access will limit the industry's growth. "Access to space will stay expensive until we can achieve something like the proposed space elevator that Arthur C. Clarke, among others, has written about," Demish testified."
