Space Elevator Prizes Proposed
Space Space...I believe in...
"Space elevator proponents are planning competitions for space elevator technologies, similar to the Ansari X Prize. Elevator:2010 will organize annual competitions for climbers, ribbons and power-beaming systems. In other space elevator news, researcher Bradley C. Edwards recently left the Institute for Scientific Research to work at two companies on materials and technology. Also, the space elevator has caught the interest of Google's founders: 'At a space camp in Alabama last year, Brin talked about creating a space elevator to transport cargo up a special tether attached to earth. Also last year, Brin joined Page in proclaiming they should found a nanotech lab at Google.'"
Google space elevators? Space explo(r/it)ation makes for some really strange bedfellows.
What hellish muzak do you think will be playing on the elevator speakers? |

That's an amazing concept; I had never heard of the space elevator before.

 I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.
