Space Elevator model at the First Lego League Competition
According to the First Lego League website, “The FIRST LEGO League (FLL), considered the “little league” of the FIRST Robotics Competition, is the result of a partnership between FIRST and the LEGO Group. FLL extends the FIRST concept of inspiring and celebrating science and technology to children aged 9 through 14, using real-world context and hands-on experimentation.”
One of the entrants built a model of a Space Elevator. The photos are located on Flickr and can be found here, here and here.
The Space Elevator Reference – Updates
Over at the Space Elevator Reference site, they are sporting both a new look and two new contributors. The new look is very smart, but the real news are the two new contributors; Dr. Bradley Edwards and Dr. Bryan Laubscher. I look forward to many interesting posts from these two visionaries.
