LaserMotive Wins Level 1 Space Elevator Prize
     


LaserMotive won the
$900,000 Level 1 prize at this year's Space
Elevator competition, doing a 1 km climb at an average speed of 4 m/s.
The Kansas City Space
Pirates came close but didn't couldn't beat
LaserMotive's score. USST showed
promise but ran into technical problems
this year. Each team's space elevator is a robot climber powered by a
high-powered laser beam directed at the climber from the ground. A NASA
press release sums up this year's competition. For more details on
the contest and this year's teams, see the Space Elevator Games
website. There are additional photos of the winners in at Space Elevator Blog. For
more vidoe see the Spaceward
Foundation YouTube channel. LaserMotive also has more photos and
info in their
blog.

Yes Tyler I remember reading this from NASA, but just as impressive is googles 'WAVE' program and the slow,unique way its being delivered.

It reminds me of a wave function and Photons and such that I discussed with Alison a while back, heh ricky put a quarter in the box and cried, heh

Will see you again, keep up the good work.
