It's basically an elevator to space.

I don't see it being possible or practical.

it is a matter of tensile strength/density. the ratio needed
to make this possible has been measured on shorter lengths of
carbon nanotubes. if it turns out that long lengths of
these materials can be eventually fabricated then it will
become possible.
