Space elevator
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) - Researchers are proposing an elevator reaching
100,000 kilometres into the sky that would be able to launch payloads into space at a far lower cost than space shuttle. The Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are so convinced it can be a reality that they are working on their own time on technical details. Five to 10 scientists at any given time are analysing the economics, technical specifications of how the elevator would work and possible health risks to those using it. Lab scientist Bryan Laubscher said researchers hope the U.S. Good to see them putting there personal time in. Ben |
