Its never happening and if it ever does it will never look like what they imagine it to be....and the cost alone, we'll it will only be for the elite.
If you want a good laugh take a look at the space elevator, yes they want to possibly build an elevator that goes from earth to space. Yepppppppppp.
Who is "they"? "They" are stupid, because gravity simply will not allow that. Simple things like gravity and centrifugal force will not allow a 200-mile-long cable of any thickness to exist heading upwards.
Warp speed, Mr. Scott!
A space elevator is conceived as a cable fixed to the equator and reaching into space. A counterweight at the upper end keeps the center of mass well above geostationary orbit level. This produces enough upward centrifugal force from Earth's rotation to fully counter the downward gravity, keeping the cable upright and taut.
Feasibile not quite there tech wise but nearly, station is 36,000km out geo stationary, thats a long trip pulling yourself up a carbon nanotube cable 4mm thick, even at 100km/h thats 3600hrs or 150days to the station, can't get off before.
Something hits the cable and 100billion worth of cable ruined.
I also think pipe dream!
Space pretty, but few days in you'd get bored then it's 99.9% boredom and 0.1% terror.

Except, the earth rotates and the cable itself will weigh hundreds of tons. Experiment fails. Done. Over.
Ya an' if a UFO flies into it and breaks the cable, huge repair bill.
If it's like a spiderweb, could catch satellites.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your response, it is so woefully funny. So I choose...Aliens!
Carbon Nano Tubes, you lower it from the station gravity pulls it down, the math works, tne cost is huge and the climber would take a year to get there and a few at a time if not 1.
