Space Elevator show on the Science Channel

First, the good news.  It appears that a show which regularly airs on the Science Channel, Discoveries this Week, had a segment on Space Elevators and the recent Space Elevator Games.  The bad news – there was no heads-up to this and all of us (with the exception of Brian Turner of the Kansas City Space Pirates) missed it.  Brian says he cannot find this on the web at all, and, after some looking on my own, neither can I.  But I have faith that someone will find it.

Here’s the link to the Discoveries this Week URL.  If anyone can track down a web version of this show, please, please, please let me know.

Thanks, Brian…

 

Black Line Ascension debuts…

The latest venture from Dr. Bradley Edwards (and Dr. Bryan Laubscher and others).  I first heard mention of this in the recently aired NOVA Science Now show – it had a blurb about him stating, among other items; “Edwards is currently with Black Line Ascension, an umbrella company with subentities working on materials development and basic engineering and research of the space elevator concept.”

I was unaware they had a website however.  Thanks to Brian Dunbar and Darnell Clayton for pointing this out.
