2007 Space Elevator Games – (Entry 9)

So, it’s Monday, October 15th and another beautiful day here at the site of the 2007 Space Elevator Games.

The latest developmen is that the LaserMotive team and equipment have arrived.  Tom Nugent, Project Manager for LaserMotive, told me he was here yesterday – I guess I missed him.  But their equipment arrived about an hour ago.  I’ll be posting on that later.

We now have 5 teams on site; USST, KC Space Pirates, E-T-C, UBC Snowstar and now LaserMotive.  3 more to go…

In the meantime, here is a video clip showing the Kansas City Space Pirates getting ready for a qualifying run.  As everything has to be set up for this, it will probably take some hours to get it ready to go.  Future qualification runs should go quicker.
