Resolves as YES if, by January 1st, 2040, Earth is equipped with an operational Space Elevator. This refers to a structure or a system of structures that extends from the surface of the Earth into space, allowing for the transport of goods and people to and from Earth's orbit without the use of traditional rocket propulsion. The Space Elevator must be capable of regular operation and able to sustain continuous movement of payloads between Earth and space.

@RemNiFHfMN They certainly will be. But thats not enough justification for building one. Maybe if our material science improves drastically until then.
@FatihKurt what if there's a misaligned AGI that pursues building a space elevator as an aesthetic goal
@RemNiFHfMN If we will have superintelligence without alignment, all bets are off. We can’t really predict anything about it.
