[FPSPACE] Liftport News - draft roadmap for space elevator development

[Brian Dunbar]

Space Elevator Roadmap Version 1.0 Public Beta

Liftport Group is happy to announce that we have (some might say at long
last) produced a draft roadmap for space elevator development.

In conjunction with the Roadmap and to help foster an open approach to
space elevator development, Liftport Group is also offering the LiftPort
Space Elevator Questions Database (i.e Questions Database).


The product of a determined effort by our staff and interns over a busy
summer, the Roadmap provides the most realistic timetable yet for the
development, deployment and operation of our proposed space elevator.

The Questions Database is intended to be a public repository for
research and design questions related to the development of the space
elevator.

Questions is still under development, and is only the latest tool we're
using to involve the public.  We encourage people from all walks of life
and all over the world to become involved with space elevator research
and advocacy.
