Over at the Space Elevator Reference, Dr. Bryan Laubscher gives a summary of places/locations for previous Space Elevator-themed conferences and workshops. He calls for the Space Elevator community to attend this years 2nd Biennial Space Elevator Workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico (being held from March 25th through the 28th), just 8 short weeks from tomorrow, and tells us why it is so important for us to be there.
His post is a must-read.
I just received this from Spaceward’s Ben Shelef:
Hello Folks
Most of you probably caught the NOVA segment on the Space Elevator – it was broadcast a while back, but is available online at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3401/02.html. It is a real nice segment (12 minutes).
On the same topic, Discovery channel will broadcast tomorrow (1/28, 8pm) a 3-hour special presentation about futuristic concepts. The Space Elevator is featured in the 3rd segment: http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/2057/2057.html
As for next year’s competition, the first team registration deadline is approaching, and the list of teams is growing fast: http://www.elevator2010.org/teams.html
Finally, To those of you asking about dates and location – we’re still working on it, maybe we’ll have some news on the next update.
Sincerely,
The Spaceward Crew.
