The Speculist

I wanted to comment at "We Have Separation" but there was something wacky with the comment box.

I'm so happy that everything went well with the flight, because if it had gone wrong, it would be so very, very wrong and sad.

This changes everything. Or at least, it has the potential.

Have you guys done any reading on the Space Elevator?

Sorry I was disallowing comments in the individual entries, thinking that I would do a big summation to bring everything into perspective. But then the (real) job intervened and now I'm in California -- nowhere near Mojave, unfortunately -- so I kinda left readers who wanted to comment high and dry.

I'm pretty sure Stephen has written on the subject as well, but I couldn't remember the links off the top of my head.
