In this chapter, we learn that the Japanese have successfully completed the construction of the "space elevator," a device that will allow them to travel to outer space. We learn that this will be the first time humans have been able to go beyond Earth's atmosphere, and that it will also mark the end of humankind's dependence on the earth's resources.
