The Space Elevator and Our Future
March 13th, 2008
On July 20, 2007, Bryan Laubscher gave a talk about the Space Elevator at Microsoft. It has just (I think) been posted on the web. You can access it here.
This is an hour and 23 minute presentation, exploring the concepts, history, potential uses and current status of the Space Elevator development.
