The description you gave sounds like the NASA reference missions I listed links to. Why did you think they weren't?

As for your other question if you can't answer the one above, perhaps you'll understand my frustration. I have posted these links over and over only to hear the same bogus claims made by moon firsters and others that are patently wrong if you read these references.

A space elevator is the goose that lays the golden egg of space exploration in terms of access to space, but it doesn't solve all the other issues that must be addressed. There is no reason not to address these other issues while waiting for a technology that we do not know for certain we will ever develope. We don't need a space elevator to get to Mars, but it sure would make colonization much easier.
