The Space Elevator Reference: Space Exploration 2007 and Second Biennial Space Elevator Workshop Underway

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 Exploration 2007 and Second Biennial Space Elevator Workshop Underway

The Space Exploration 2007 and Second Biennial Space Elevator Workshop is now underway in Albuquerque. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend but both Brad Edwards and Bryan Laubscher are there and in fact Bryan gave the keynote this morning. Ted Semon of the Space Elevator Blog is there reporting on the conference as is Patrick Boake who is reporting for the Space Elevator Journal.

It should be a great conference and we'll bring you news as it happens.
