2007 Space Elevator Games – (Entry 15)

This morning, we held our first all-hands meeting.  These will be held every morning at 8:00am.  In this meeting, Ben Shelef (Spaceward Foundation) and Ken Davidian (NASA) will go over any issues that have come up.  All teams are to attend and can bring up any issues they want.

In this meeting, the general schedule was discussed.  Yesterday, today and tomorrow are reserved for qualification runs, done on an ad-hoc basis (whoever is ready to go, goes).  On Thursday, we’ll try to run on a simulated competition schedule where climbs are run every hour on the hour.  Friday, Saturday and Sunday, of course, are the main competition days.  Climbs are scheduled to run each hour, on the hour.  Of course, that is weather dependent.

The video below is a snapshot of the meeting.
