Re: OT: About Space Elevators
I was born on July 7th, 1969. Nine days later Apollo 11 was launched.
For the first time since I realised my poor eyesight was going to prevent my childhood dream of becoming an astronaut, I have a real hope of making it into space in my lifetime. Maybe by the time I retire, I can take a vacation on the moon, or at least stay a week in an orbital hotel.
This is really exciting stuff.
