Space Elevators Crawl Up (almost…)

October 26, 2005 |

In the wake of the great success of the Grand Challenge, a similar competition was arranged to jumpstart the research on a possible elevator into space. While teams did not quite make it into space, the results are pretty impressive nevertheless.
 
This did not get much attention, but clearly, for government agencies, these competitions are starting to look like a good way to further research. The privately funded X-Prize might have been a precursor to this.
