Seat-belts on!
The Space Elevator – I located a first bit about it on Silicon Beat tho it has apparently been around for almost 2 years and guess who were busy brandying the idea back then! More details about it on the Liftport site – The group is so dead serious about making it happen that they even got a countdown to the lift date April 12, 2018.Anyways, amidst all the rumors of a secretive demonstration by the Liftport guys and Foresight Nanotech Institute, NASA and nonprofit Spaceward Foundation is hosting a space elevator contest – Tether Challenge. Points will be given for the each climb of the payload according to payload mass x average velocity of the climb. Incidentally the results are in.
