mars elevator

["DarkDAVE" <darkdave3000@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

um NO, unless u tell me it's easy for you to figure out how to dock with
another space elevator in mars geo sync! :)
the challenge of piloting is still there, but on a larger scale, the simple
get into space stuff would have been solved, so more skills can be used for
the BIG picture in space.

        Engines of Creation by Eric Drexler
      Drexler's book is the definite source on all things related to
nanotechnology. If you have a question with regard to the nanotube cable
this is a good place to start.

        HighLift Systems
      The bottom line is that the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts
(NIAC) Phase I and current Phase II studies examined the entire system in
detail and found a space elevator design that will work with current or
near-future technology, a method to deploy the ribbon, and specific scenario
for safe operation.
