It’s a good thing that “Space Elevator” is the same in Spanish as it is in English, or I would have never known that this Spanish-language blog had mentioned it. The blog entry is talking about the Mars Rovers and, at the end, mentions a Space Elevator.
In the interests of full disclosure, Jorge Revilla and Manuel Cuba hold the billet ‘Latin America Research Coordinator’ at Liftport.
I didn’t know that – thanks very much. So, I can assume that his comment on the Space Elevator was positive? 🙂
Probably. My Spanish is non-existant and BabelFish is less than helpful.at transmitting nuanced collequal translaations.
I am going to have to break down and learn Spanish – learning a foreign language is an outrage to a brain as old as mine. But if Liftport really truly takes off we’ll have facilities down there.
I spent 8 years in Saudi Arabia and did my darndest to learn Arabic. I succeeded to some small degree. I can’t see any Space Elevator facilities in the Middle East, but I certainly could see some Arab money in helping to build it at some point.
Hi there,
Well, yes, of course the comment was possitive 🙂 But we’ve also been mentioned in other blogs and news pages in spanish thanks to Manuel’s PR work…
The problem with pages in spanish about the SE is that most information is outdated, kind of what you found in english pages around the year 2000, with the same mistakes. So we´ve been contacting all the webmasters and bloggers to help them get the facts right and up to date.
Regards
Jorge L Revilla

Hi Kingsley!
Nope, I am the Industrial Engineer of Lima, Peru, hehe.
But I wouldn’t bother if I also was a soccer star!
