The space elevator project was funded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.
After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.
this, this, is perfect!
Never have so many wallets closed simultaneously.

When the "Down" button was clicked, the screen then showed:

It was a design feature so they could never return.
It's a shame that they could not be an alpha tester.
