The Space Elevator Reference: Space Elevator Competition Day 1

Climbers 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.

Space Elevator Competition Day 1 - Update 2

The competition has ended today with no more attempts made to climb the ribbon due to the high winds. Everyone is regrouping and will try again tomorrow. We'll have another update either later tonight or tomorrow morning.
