Barrow-born Jordan William Hughes has designed an elevator that transports passengers into space. His futuristic concept was awarded a prize for space architecture and innovation from the Jacques Rougerie Foundation, in Paris. The use of an elevator is designed to replace rockets, which he says are inefficient, expensive and bad for the environment. The design involves dropping a cable-like structure from a space port down to earth. It would then connect with a ship that can move around the ocean to keep pace with the space port.
