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.
