It’s been a while since I’ve inflicted shown you Space Elevator related videos I’ve found on YouTube. No, this is not the Jay Leno version of “Videos I’ve found on YouTube”, it’s mine…
This first video is of the ‘future history’ variety, talking about Space Elevators in the 31st century: (Note – updated on 03APR09 at the request of the author of the video, Erich Stüssi. He emailed me to tell me that the video I had posted was just the ‘rough cut’ of a school assignment. The one below is the final version. Thanks for the update Erich.) |

This second video is of YerbY, another musician singing about a Space Elevator. This YouTube version is the ‘solo acoustic’ version of his song, Space Elevator (on the album called “Space Elevator”).

Finally, saving the best for last, is the Space Elevator Games recap / teaser put together by the Chicago video production company Bitter Jester Creative, Inc. If you were at the last Games, you undoubtedly saw this group, filming everything in sight and interviewing almost everyone in site. They are putting together a video about the Space Elevator Games with an emphasis on the human side rather than the technical side (though that will be shown, too).I really, really like this video and I can’t wait to see their final product. |

These are great! Thanks for sharing them, especially that last one.
We’re making a space elevator model for next weekend’s SD Science Festival, so I’m totally using that teaser as supporting material.
