one down, 61,999 to go

So the space elevator has made it a mile high. Now there's something to write home about.

Yet it wasn't all pie in the sky by and by:

The company's battery-operated robotic lifters were designed to climb up and down the entire length of the ribbon but only made it about 460 m above ground.

Oops.

What I want to know is: will this one have to stop at every floor?
