The Historic First Train

"Every time I look up at this space elevator, it's difficult for me to restrain my impulse to worship it. Only a miracle can describe this magnificent project. May God bless human beings and may they not lose their course in the sea of ​​stars, Amen."

Standing at the foot of the space elevator, looking up, the old man with a beard in a priest's suit reached out and touched the outer shell of the space elevator. He painted a cross with his old fingers, and recited an unknown prayer.

Today marked the first time that the space elevator passenger rail was open to public. Among the seventy people that would arrive at the terminal station, other than thirty trained astronauts, were twenty representatives from Xin as well as twenty invited foreign guests.
