The Space Elevator Reference: Spaceward Games 2007 Come to a Close with no Winners

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.

Spaceward Games 2007 Come to a Close with no Winners

Ted Semon reports on the Space Elevator Blog that no team successfully climbed the ribbon in the alloted time today, although once again this year, the University of Saskatchewan came within seconds of winning the NASA sponsored Power Beaming challenge. Technology Tycoons and the Kansas City Space Pirates also tried but came up short today.

With no team winning the tether challenge either, next years events look to be even more exciting.
