There are so many practical problems with space elevators that I don't believe we will ever see them built: Radiation, meteorites, space debris, high-altitude corrosive oxygen, vibrations, non-existent materials, climbing energy. I think a launch loop is much more practical.

We should really just get it over with and invent protective force fields so we can build lots of spinning ring colonies in space.
