Swansong for space elevators?

Posted by Paul Raven @ 16-04-2007 in Uncategorized

I sincerely hope this turns out to be unnecessary concern, but Colony Worlds suggests that Liftport, one of the leading space elevator companies, may be forced to shut down after losing their office space. The official Liftport staff blog indicates that times are tough, but therer’s no definite word either way as of yet. I’m not ashamed to say that I’d be gutted to see Liftport fold - in a world where so many are busy staring at their feet, those guys have the guts to look up at the stars. Best wishes, Liftport.
