Re: The Drake Equation
Hey Machine,
Have you seen anything on the work done by Dr. Brad Edwards at Los Alamos on a more modest and near term space elevator design?
He had funding from NIAC and there was a nice report about the design on the site but I've not been able to bring it up lately.
Ah, it's back.

THis is a 10 slide presentation that gives an idea but obviously it would be more understandable with naration and a little Q and A.
