Just be patient. The nano-wire space elevator is coming.
I never understood how space elevator can counteract without using rockets and fuel the fact that as it moves mass up, it's moment of inertia is increasing, while its angular momentum is not. If it can't increase its angular momentum, it will gradually begin to lag the rotation of the earth until it eventually wrap itself around the earth as it goes flaccid and collapse.

I'm pretty sure when they invented the theory of panspermia, that's not what they had in mind.
It's only spermia in the plane of the rotation of the earth, not panspermia.
