And so the 2009 EuroSpaceward conference comes to an end.\u00a0 It was very interesting, highly informative and I’m very glad I came.\u00a0 I learned a lot and, more importantly (IMHO), I was able to spend lots of time with Markus Klettner (heading up EuroSpaceward) and Shuichi Ohno (heading up the Japan Space Elevator Association).<\/p>\n![](\"\/media\/EuroSpacewardLogo.jpg\")
We had several very constructive conversations about how to jointly move forward the international effort to build a Space Elevator.\u00a0 This goal is the reason why the International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC) was founded and I think it is fair to say that the ideas we had and agreements the three of us made will significantly move this idea forward.<\/p>\n![](\"\/media\/JSEALogo.jpg\")
Over the next few weeks, we will finalize and formalize these agreements and then use them to jointly move forward.\u00a0 I think it will be exciting times for ISEC and the Space Elevator Community as a whole.<\/p>\n
