Space elevator is held back by materials.
What we could do currently is launch loop.
>Launch loops are intended to achieve non-rocket spacelaunch of vehicles weighing 5 metric tons by electromagnetically accelerating them so that they are projected into Earth orbit or even beyond. This would be achieved by the flat part of the cable which forms an acceleration track above the atmosphere.

/sci/,

Would the launch loop (Lofstrom loop) be suitable for an A2 level physics essay? Ie, are there enough solid facts to base it on? Thanks hugely in advance
