The earliest concepts of space elevator date back to the end of the 19th century. During the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century, multiple concepts were proposed, but it was not until almost three hundred years later when the first space elevator would be built. The construction of the first space elevator, the [[Mombasa Tether]], began in [[2302]]. The cities with space elevators, "tether cities" as they came to be called, are often managed by second generation [[Dumb artificial intelligence|"dumb" AIs]]. As shown in [[New Mombasa]], space elevators have a significant impact to the importance and economy of the cities they are located in. The cities and their surroundings are usually full of warehouses, to store the massive amounts of cargo transported to and from orbit.
