The Space Elevator ReferenceClimbers ascend a ribbon, 100,000 km long, strung between an anchor on Earth and a counterweight in space. Connecting Earth and space in a way never before possible, the space elevator will enable us to inexpensively and completely expand our society into space. This site will serve as a reference tool for those interested in exchanging ideas on the scientific, engineering, economic and policy challenges inherent in constructing the solar system's first space elevator. |

Googling For Space, Part 2
It seems Google's other co-founder. Larry Page, is also interested in space exploration. On Friday the X Prize Foundation announced that he had been elected to the Board of Trustees along with Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Jack Bader, CEO of NetEffects, Inc. and a St. Louis business leader.
You may remember that the San Jose Mercury News last August quoted the other Google co-founder, Sergie Brin, expressing interest in the space elevator concept.
