Akira Tsuchida, captain and fearless leader of team E-T-C, recently sent out an email stating that the first Japanese Space Elevator Conference was going to be scheduled for sometime in November of this year.
The exact dates have yet to be decided but when they are, they’ll be posted on the Japan Space Elevator Association website and, of course, here.
So, if you can handle the atrocious Japanese Yen – US Dollar exchange rates, I’m sure this will be a very worthwhile experience… 🙂
I’ve mentioned on more than one occasion that Search Engines are “funny things”…
Here’s an example of story that showed up in my “space elevator” bucket. Note that I specified that both the words ‘space’ and ‘elevator’ had to appear, that the words had to appear together and that the word ‘space’ had to preceed the word ‘elevator’… Maybe now I need to specify that ‘space’ cannot be immediately preceeded by a hyphen 🙂
