do you really believe a space elevator is doable with current materials? random thoughts Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 05:45:01 AM
I have read a couple of articles suggesting it was but they were all Scientific American and other layman journals and some of the things they print can be fairly far out there.

As a kid who grew up in Houston in the 60s and 70s I have to admit I am jealous. I still think space exploration should be a bigger priority and I am pissed we don't have a manned space vehicle.
