TL;DR Summary

Architect Jordan William Hughes has ambitious plans for a 'space elevator' called Ascensio, which aims to revolutionize space travel by replacing rockets with a cable connecting Earth to an orbiting satellite. The elevator would transport passengers and cargo to a space station 22,370 miles above Earth, offering luxurious amenities and a gateway to other parts of the solar system. While the technology is not yet feasible due to the need for new materials, Hughes remains optimistic about the future of space architecture and hopes for a different way of doing things to make his vision a reality.
