Subject: Isn't there a cheaper, safer way to go into space than rockets

It seems to me that an elevator moved by linear motors within an electrified 
elevator tube, extending our far enough that centrifical force balances  
earths gravitational pull, stabilized by solar powered thrusters, terminating 
at helicopter height and and exiting at weightless distance from earth, would 
be more economical than burning all that fuel every time we send up a space 
ship.
