Other space elevator blogs
I scan all sorts of places around the ‘net that has any sort of discussion about the space elevator, and I usually post a comment or 2 on these blogs.
In response to this blog about the Space Elevator:

Thanks for your interest in the project, we appreciate it.
It will be a great view! As you rise slowly to 22,300 miles above the earth, the planet will shrink and shrink, and over the course of about 1 week, you will loose your “weight”. By the time you get to the station, to have the glass of champagne, it will have to be in a sealed “sippy cup” so that the liquid does not slosh around. But I will be there, in the observation lounge, waiting for you!
And then there is also this one:http://www.linnaeus300.com/the-questions/when-can-we-take-the-elevator-to-heaven/
On this one, I find it very appealing that a researcher is expressing her excitement over building this Elevator – and I had never heard of her before this. It just proves that this idea is taking on a life of its own. I will contact her, and see if she is interested in getting more involved.

Developments that help get us into space – cheaply, reliably and safely, will also help feed the poor, and solve real-world problems. The message that i am sending now, is bouncing off a satellite to reach you. you and i share the same concerns about people in developing nations. But the ONLY way to provide enough energy to supply the industrial world AND the developing nations, is to go to space and build enormous solar energy collectors, and beam that power down to earth – for everyone. And the only way to do that, is to build an Elevator to Space. Learn more at www.liftport.com

If you follow these links, and decide to remark on them, please try to enlighten and educate. I often see miscommunication, and misunderstandings. I try to clear some of them up, but that is just about a full time job, just connecting to these people. And if you do comment on their site, copy to comment back here, please.
take care. mjl

Well, that may be the only way I really will love to lose weight
And maybe we should use a sippy bottle instead of a sippy cup…. *giggles*
I’m looking forward to making a toast with you there!
Keep up the exciting work

Hi, “Space elevator” comes up in my google alerts, so when I see other folks who think the idea as intriguing as myself, I tend to take note.
About a week ago, I chanced across http://www.unity08.com
It’s a sort of a lets-get-together-and-solve-this-muddle political forum, but when I saw that Space exploration did not rate as an issue, I created a group to voice support.
If you feel the inclination, drop by and give your two cents worth. If the wheel don’t squeak, it don’t get oiled, so if we want a space elevator we’ve got to get vocal.
