To Space on Elavator

Going to space through an elevator? I have read this article once from my brothers science magazine. At first i wondered how they are going to do it because theres nowhere they can connect the cables from the ground to the space but reading the article i was greatly fascinated of what science can do.

Target year for this project is 2010.
There still more to read about space elevator here
another article can be read from here

There doesn't need to be anything to attach to for a space elevator to work.

This is wrong on the details but conceptually this might help - a space elevator hangs down (in) and and up (out) from it's midpoint. Centripital force pulls the end out.
