There have been many, many articles and blog entries\u00a0which have been published over the past several days discussing the 2006 Space Elevator Games.\u00a0 I’m going to list them all in this posting as, while the articles aren’t exactly the same, the theme of them generally are.\u00a0 If I run across an article that has a decidedly different take on things, I’ll break it out into a separate post.\u00a0 Otherwise, you’ll find them\u00a0accumulated here.<\/p>\n
I’ll be listing them by date they were published and will keep this posting up-to-date, at least over the next few weeks.\u00a0 If you spot a duplicate article (many times a particular publication will just reprint someone else’s story – giving credit, of course), please let me know and I’ll pull it.\u00a0 We have enough originals that we don’t need the duplicates \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
