<\/a>The two pictures are ones of the competitors and entries.\u00a0 I must confess that I had fairly low expectations for this particular event – I didn’t think that it would be very much fun or generate much interest.\u00a0 I was wrong on all counts – everyone really enjoyed it and you could see the “family resemblance” to the earlier Space Elevator Games – lots of experienced gained for future competitions.\u00a0 I think that next year’s event will be an even bigger success!<\/p>\n
