CNBC’s John Schoen wrote an article about the Space Elevator, releasing it just before the recent Space Elevator Conference and I am just getting ’round now to linking to it…
In addition to writing about Space Elevators, John also discusses flying cars and freight drones. ISEC‘s Peter Swan is quoted in the story.
There are also, unfortunately, the usual inane comments about space elevators in the article’s Comments section. I tried to correct a couple of the worst, but it’s like trying to drain a lake with a spoon 🙁
I love the analogy you used with the spoon and the lake. Carl Sagan always lamented this seemingly unwinnable battle.
As they say, you can’t fix stupid…
