The Andromeda Connection

One of the new contestants in this year’s Space Elevator Games is The Andromeda Connection.  If you visit their website, you learn that their captain, Michael Harvey, “…has a keen interest in science in general, particularly that involving space travel and electronics. Over the past 48 years Mike has developed skills in fields ranging from electronics and programming to residential construction and mechanics.”

On their website, they have a Progress Report and a Photo Album.  They’ve also posted a couple of videos at YouTube showing tests of their Climber’s drive system.
