Space Elevator

neal.fun

“Space Elevator” is a fun and educational interactive web experience created by Neal Agarwal. It simulates a ride on a theoretical elevator that goes from the Earth’s surface all the way toward outer space. As you scroll up the page, the elevator ascends through different layers of the atmosphere — from where birds fly and airplanes cruise to the edge of space beyond the Kármán line — with cool visuals and interesting facts along the way. You’ll see familiar clouds, birds, aircraft, rockets, and atmospheric milestones visualized at their approximate real-world altitudes. It’s a playful way to explore how high things really are above us and to learn about Earth’s layers before reaching space.
