Does anyway have a link to the article exploring all of the horrible destruction such a massive object whipping back to earth after an inevitable malfunction/terrorist attack would cause? It was actually pretty rad.

That NASA paper where they went into all sorts of thorough engineering detail justifying the viability of such a project was real interesting.

It's going up next week. The construction has been real hush-hush, but they should be making an announcement about it soon.

ha ha, like the us is even capable of such a large scale, technically precise project nowadays. we could surely plan and design the most amazing space elevator imaginable. but when it came time to actually building it our population is too dumb and our politicians are too corrupt.

I'm gonna make a bunch of guesses and make someone prove me wrong and then reverse engineer their argument and destroy them and make it rain in the space titty bar.

If NASA wants to keep their funding they'd drat well better stay ADA compliant -- if we can't have a Space Elevator for the upcoming crop of disabled astronauts then we'll just need to figure out some alternative way to facilitate their space access. Maybe some sort of county-funded Space Van? Whatever it is it'll have to be the sort of solution that can *just* barely function at 75% funding -- the days of pie-in-the-sky space endeavors are over & we need small gov't solutions for our austere times. How about a really big cannon? That'd work, right? Dig a tunnel into the side of a mountain or some poo poo. Or maybe vacuum filled balloons are the answer this time, as they have so many times in the past. Got to tell the scienticians working on this stuff "think less Faustian, more desperation."
