Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈Talking about the Panama Canal always makes me think of Space Elevators...
Gee thanks Elon, another Science Fiction dream (Space Elevators) you're shitting on with your carelessness.
Is it because a cable would be direct competition with your shitty rockets?
@cbarbermd I'm a big fan of Space Elevators and what they could do for us as!

Attached: 1 image A new post! Today in my #CosmicStories #ScienceandSF blog, I'm looking at another technology for space utilisation in science and SF: space elevators. Featuring Clarke, Sheffield, Robinson, Thunderbirds are Go, Star Trek, Niven, Pratchett, Baxter and others. Comments are always welcome! https://warwick.ac.uk/cosmicstories/space_elevators/
Internl Space Elevator ConsrtmThe May-2023 International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC) newsletter is out...
- An article on Space Solar Power, ending on how it needs to be supported by SEs.
- A recent presentation to the Space Education Summit.
- Registration is opening soon for our 2023 in-person conference, Aug 12/13. Join us in the Aon building, Chicago, for discussions, workshops & sessions on the state of #SpaceElevators, materials & where we are headed. More info coming soon at https://www.isec.org/events/isec2023 and here on Mastodon.
- @Adriannxion discusses how tensile strength responds to temperature : will the tether maintain its strength in the extremes of space ?
- Details of the SE session at the #ISDC2023 conference in Frisco (Texas) on May 25 + news that ISEC is sponsoring an evening reception.
- A Call for Educators for the SpacEdge Academy, volunteer needed !
- A new section, "Around The Web" : links to some interesting material recently posted.

ISEC 2023 Conference : “Permanent Space Access Transportation Infrastructure” — International Space Elevator Consortium
The International Space Elevator Conference is BACK in person ! Theme : “ Permanent Space Access Transportation Infrastructure” The conference is being held at the Aon building in downtown Chicago. Join us to listen to the top voices in the Space Elevator community. Some topics include t
If I wanted to 'disrupt' the Space Launch industry I'd be looking at #SpaceElevators and Tethers, or maybe one of those "laser launch" things.
There's so much more out there than rockets, let's get some disruption in!

Spaceflight 🚀#ScientificAmerican 📆 November 25, 2022 Stephen Cohen has been working on #SpaceElevators 🚠 for almost 20 years. He believes they will exist soon— in two or three decades. To build it, we need a #material whose specific strength 💪 is about 50 times higher than #steel https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/space-elevators-are-less-sci-fi-than-you-think

Space Elevators Are Getting Closer to Reality
Markus Feilner (has moved)"#SpaceElevators are often dismissed as a science fiction dream, but I believe they will exist soon—perhaps in two or three decades. Throughout my career as an aerospace engineer and physics professor, I keep coming back to the concept of a cable stretching from Earth to space, along which people and cargo can easily travel. In recent years I and other researchers have found new ways to tinker with designs and answer questions about how space elevators could work." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/space-elevators-are-less-sci-fi-than-you-think/
