Re: Space Fountains - GEO Elevator, no nanotubes required

*Wow, that's interesting.  I don't recall coming across a reference to this before.  :-\

Now we'll have Space Elevator people "vs" Space Fountain people?  Not sure I want to "go there" -- but I couldn't help thinking it. 

Will read more.  Thanks for posting it.

Re: Space Fountains - GEO Elevator, no nanotubes required

Whoopsie, topic accidentally got posted twice. Please put any further comments/discussion in the other "Space fountains" topic, the one that actually has my two cents in it.

Sorry about that. (No emoticon for slapping self in the face, so this will have to do)  :bars:
