Art and source photos aside, this link is sort of disappointing. For example,
>As Mars' diameter is about half of the Earths, the elevator cable wouldn't have to be as long to reach geostationary orbit and due to the lighter gravitational pull it wouldn't suffer as much stress from its weight.
Mars' diameter has nothing to do with the distance to stationary orbit, which is a result of gravity (and thus its mass).
