At KansasCity.com, author Jonathan Bender wrote an article discussing robotics, Space Elevator climber, the Spaceward Games and, among others, Brian Turner, captain of the Kansas City Space Pirates…
From the article:
“This year Turner and his team are headed back to the desert with one goal — to capture the $2 million prize. They have a new power source, a laser, but the climber must now scale a kilometer-long ribbon, a distance 10 times greater than the 2007 threshold.”
It’s a fun article – that Brian sure does get in the news, doesn’t he?
