Yet another reason to build a Space Elevator

The Russian Parliament voted against sending Madonna to the ISS, 252-42.  Oh the humanity!!

If we had a Space Elevator, she could just book a ride to ISS orbit, hop a shuttle craft, and pop on over (yes I know I’m oversimplifying).  I’m not sure why the Russians refused her money – they’ve allowed others to pay their way to the ISS.

Perhaps LiftPort can talk her into being an investor…
