There have been a lot of blogger posts about the Nicola Pugno study<\/a>.\u00a0 Rather than continue to put each one in a separate entry, I’m going to combine them in this one.<\/p>\n

Eric Zorn is a columnist at the Chicago Tribune and he’s one of my favorite reads.\u00a0 In his blog “Change of Subject<\/a>“, he wrote this: “The idea of a space elevator was popularized in science fiction, where writers envisioned a 100,000-kilometre-long cable stretching straight up from the Earth’s surface and fixed in a geosynchronous orbit. Payloads, or tourists, would simply ascend the cable into low-Earth orbit, eliminating the need for rocket launches.” Nature.com discusses the latest research<\/a>. (via <\/font>Digg<\/font><\/a>)<\/font><\/span>“.\u00a0 The Nature.com story is, of course, the negative one saying that a carbon nanotubes won’t work because of their “inherent defects.”\u00a0 It’s nice to have the Space Elevator mentioned by someone with such a large audience, but anyone looking at only this story will not see the other side of the story.\u00a0 I left a comment directing people to my blog – others may wish to point his readers to other information.<\/p>\n

25MAY06<\/p>\n

Skeptipundit says<\/a> “…does seem that there are some new challenges to overcome.”<\/p>\n

Colony Worlds opines<\/a> that it’s much too soon to draw conclusions.<\/p>\n

Tom Nugent at LiftPort is not discouraged<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the Velcro City Tourist Board (cool name, that), he’s disappointed but not discouraged<\/a>.\u00a0 He also weighs in on the Space Pier option.<\/p>\n

At My Corner of the Universe, blogger Cameron Peters hopes<\/a> that despite the objections of Nicola Pugno, he’ll still be able to take a ride in a Space Elevator.<\/p>\n
