The first of the morning sessions has just finished.\u00a0 Brad Edwards had to do double-duty this morning, giving a talk on the current state of Space Elevator development and then giving Ben Shelef’s speech on the Space Elevator Games (Ben couldn’t be with us for this conference, unfortunately).<\/p>\n![](\"\/media\/SESI2007\/BradEdwards4.jpg\")
<\/a>Nothing really new on the Space Elevator front from Brad.\u00a0 He gave the status and listed the current problems, the biggest of which is funding.\u00a0 He did, however, make the statement that he thought that the development of sufficiently strong carbon nanotubes was only “one or two years away.”\u00a0 I sure hope he’s correct – this would change everything.<\/p>\n
