LaserMotive issues blogging challenge…
August 3rd, 2007
In the latest post from the LaserMotive blog, Tom Nugent says that they’re going to increase their already (relatively) prolific blogging and challenges the other competitors in this year’s Space Elevator Games to do likewise.
Tom points out the diminishing risks of doing so; it IS getting late in the game to be changing an entry and so teams would be risking little, if anything, by letting us know what is going on with them (hint, hint)…
I know USST is in the process of updating their website, and the KC Space Pirates, Snowstar, RAMCO I and E-T-C have been updating us semi-irregularly, but from the others, essentially nada. Several of the teams don’t even have websites. Of course we can’t read too much into that as one of the teams without a website, LiteWon (now the Technology Tycoons?), came in with the second fastest time last year and should only improve this year.
So, do we have any takers for this blogging challenge?

Tom Nugent? Is this the same Tom that works over at LiftPort?
Confused…

Yep, one in the same. Tom doesn’t do much for LiftPort anymore and is into something new; i.e. working with a team that’s trying to make a half-million bucks…

Ted’s right - I’m not actively involved with LiftPort these days. I’m spending 120% of my time on LaserMotive, herding cats.

I’ve wondered…in the beam power challenge, would it be cheating to beam the power from a crane that always stays a few feet from the climber and rises with it?
