Space Elevator Update

TheMadReaper writes "The 2005 edition of the Space Exploration Conference in Albuquerque, NM came to a conclusion earlier this week. A large fraction of the conference was devoted to the Space Elevator. Surprisingly, there hasn't been much news coverage of this conference, perhaps because it doesn't have Space Elevator in its name. The most interesting fact I got from the conference is that money is really starting to exist in the space elevator world mainly thanks to the work of Dr. Bradley Edwards at ISR and at Carbon Designs, Inc. The strong nanotube talk was also more promising than last year."

    That was the stupidest thing I've read in a while. I don't know if that was a troll, sarcasm or terminal stupidity but whatever it was you need to stop. If it was sarcasm, learn to convey that better, if it's a troll stop because no one likes you and you'll die lonely if you don't get off the computer and if that was sincere then I suggest sitting down, taking a razor blade, and slitting your wrists. Remember, up the road, not across the street. It's for the good of the gene pool man!!!
