A New Era Has Begun

Hi All!

So since the last time i posted anything (CHINA!) ive enrolled in a new class about "space elevators". I actually had one quarter in between summer and now (its called fall, we worked in Tijuana Mexico) but i didn't blog about it, i really should, that will come later, once i have the whole class's picture archive.

We are basically designing a spaceport that will have a ribbon extending into the cosmos where people can ride some kind of space bus and visit an altitude of 30,000 km look into outer space and ride back to earth.

Sounds kind of wacky but a lot of serious companies and goverment organizations have been throwing money at the idea considering the ridiculous cost of sending a shuttle into orbit every time.

This seems like its going to be interesting!

Above is a picture of what other people envision the future of space travel via "space elevators". Interesting eh?
