Named after the famous United States president David Anderson who opened the space frontier. During his presidency 'The First' landed on Mars.

Construction began Januari 2052 in French Guyana. Here the foundation for the elevator was build. Some years before a good candidate for the spacebased foundation was found, an asteroid with the technical name X467PO. This asteroid was located in the Asteroid Belt and in 2050 nanobots landed on it's surface starting to build a transportation system, transforming the asteroid into a rocket. Late 2050 the asteroid was ready to go, with destination Earth. This was the first time a large object was deliberately put into an orbit around the sun which would cross the Earth. Weren't it for the advanced mathematical calculations asteroid X467PO would have been the next Extinction Level Event [ELE].

But that didn't happen and now the asteroid has been put into geostationary orbit. For the scientist this was such a learning experience they are now thinking of translocating even larger rocks [see Ceres as a Mars moon].

At this moment the nanobots have come out of their winter sleep during the translocation. Now they are building nanocarbonfibre, the material the elevator is made of. This spinned ribbon will be unwinded and let down towards the surface of the Earth. Because the asteroid hangs geostationary above the foundation of the elevator in French Guyana the ribbon will some time in the future make it to the surface. Then the ribbon will be connected to the foundation and liftcarriages will start their ascend.
