Just to finish up what I started.

On the space elevator, with the crucibles and space escalator. The metal frames.

 

In those 2 drawings.

 

I am thinking, if to use a track, the passenger carrying shell does not need to travel up perfectly vertical.

 

So the first drawing as you can see, is like a rollercoaster. A curve.

A is the sideview.

B is the top view, where supporting lines for the curves are represented.

 

Highest point of the curve is where the atmosphere ends and meets orbit.

 

Second drawing,

The red line represents the vertical tower.

And every other line that is supported by it, are the tracks that can have it climb passenger carrying shells.

 

So then, the second drawing has many points in which many shells can be simultaneously reaching the orbit.

 

First drawing is not any different from the space escalator.

Second drawing is different in such a way that, there aren't particular limitations to how many tracks can be created.

 

The interlocking cubes can be removed to be recycled of its usage again, to create other structures.

 

How this differs from the space escalator then?

Space escalator isn't designed for speed. But carrying heavy loads and durability of it.

(Raw ores for instance)

Whereas space elevator, is built for speed, but not weight. Only carrying people and luggage.

So the tracks, should be designed in different ways.
