You know the rules...
What? There are no rules about posting pictures for articles about space elevators?
Oh. Nevermind.

1500 feet. Not bad for starters. The cable does not inspire confidence the way it flexes in the wind. That could be a rough ride.

The company's battery-operated robotic lifters were designed to climb up and down the entire length of the ribbon but only made it about 460 m above ground. Laine told New Scientist that the robots had worked properly during preparatory tests and his team is still analysing the problem. Duh! They got tired out.
Next time hire robots with more endurance. Geesh!

Are they going to get Jack to make the first climb?

This space elevator I think has good solid science behind it. This pretty exciting. My only concern is earthquakes and fault lines. Protecting it against terrorist attcks would seem to be easy a huge no fly zone around it.

OK, maybe I don't fully understand... won't atmospheric friction cause this some trouble?
How much energy is needed to lift a ton 62,000 miles?
Does this imply a geostationary space station?

I'm sure we all can't wait for this great achievement in human history when men are able to ascend to orbital space on a daily basis.
And we all are equally excited for the glorious day when this monument to human achievement will be blown to bits for the glory of Allah, killing as many jews and infidels as possible.

1 mile? 62,000 miles? So that means that they are a bit more than 1/1000th of a percent the way there...
