LiftPort has a page of “Conceptual Engineering Drawings” relating to a future Space Elevator – these are very cool. In addition, they still have their old (April 12, 2018) “Countdown to Lift” date on this page, so it has a special appeal to me…
Tom, I just tried it myself – it’s not working for me either. I get the wonderful “404…” message. Perhaps it’s working for you because you’re inside a firewall?
That’s the link. I’m using Firefox. Clicked your URL and opened it. I refreshed the page and it displayed. I opened up a whole diff browser (Safari) and it worked.
Actually, that stuff is somewhat old. More recent vintage images can be found at the concepts part of the gallery.
Wow – we missed a hand coded web page. Take a good look – I’ll eradicate that one today.
Hey Tom, the link is broken.
Darnell, it’s working right now for me. Maybe the server had a hiccup?

I’m way outside the notional firewall and the page Tom is pointing to works fine.

Well, I still can’t get to it. I’ve tried it with IE7, Firefox and Opera – all give me the 404 error.
This is the link, yes?

Something amiss with your machine, Ted?
Now it works – don’t know why it didn’t before…
I came by your house last night and sprinkled magic ju-ju dust all over your computer …
But no. I have no idea.
So that’s who my dog was barking at…
It’s still not working for me.
I guess Santa wasn’t the only one who missed my house…
That’s odd, Darnell. It didn’t work for me for days, either, and then all of a sudden did. I didn’t change anything to make it work…
It’s working now.
I guess that was Brian who left the chocolate chip cookie crumbs on the table (and drank up all the milk).
Unfortunately he didn’t leave any presents.
PS
These LiftPort guys are creepy! 😉

If by ‘creepy’ you mean ‘stubborn as a mule’ then, yes.
