Interview with Dr. Bradley C. Edwards 118
Keith Curtis writes "I recently discovered that Dr. Bradley C. Edwards, noted expert on the Space Elevator pays $4 for coffee at the same Starbucks that I do. I asked him if he would meet up with me and chat and he graciously agreed. I recorded the interview for posterity. In our wide-ranging conversation we talked about NASA politics, getting energy from space, location, space tourism, software, nanotech, and several other topics."

Might be a good idea to get that 60gb ipod if you didn't already. I'dd hate to listen to elevator music for two days straight.

With several elevators we could make a huge planetoid banjo and play the song from the mission on it, which would probably attract aliens from all around the galaxy and transform the solar system in a huge fiesta zone ! Or maybe not, but the banjo part would be fun anyway.

Any particular reason they don't they make buildings out of these carbon strands instead of with steel girders?
The little piglet that tried found that the unusually low weight made his house much too easy to blow over by the big bad wolf.
