The Space Elevator Reference: No Ribbon Climbing Today at the Spaceward Games

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.

We have warm, beautiful day today however the wind is just to strong to run the climbers up the ribbon. Winds have been gusting at 15-20 mph.

[With the strong winds the climber rigging is
taken down for the day and the crane is about to stowed as well.]
