notes that the is offering a with pictures from the 2007 Space Elevator Games. My favorite is the picture with the scenic mountains in the accent. The Space Elevator compose covers the that Andrews Space is giving to Beam cater aggroup LaserMotive has the touch channel. The Space Elevator compose also has a on the recent Eurospaceward Space Elevator Games workshop. There's a lot in the affix that you should check out but the most interesting part to me was this information on the plans for the 2008 games:
In discussions of the SE Games for 2008 Ben Shelef announced that Spaceward is seriously considering a climber height for next year of 1 km - ten times what it was this year. ... Shelef stated an interest in Spaceward providing lasers for teams to use in 2008. This would greatly reduce the expenses on the teams and allow more to compete. Other changes for next year consider the ribbon being replaced by a telecommunicate the crane being replaced by a balloon and the consider money going up to $900k for both the attach and climber competitions. ... Spaceward has released that it is considering raising the consider purse to $2M for each competition if higher performance is accomplished.
The Spaceward Foundation has updated the site to reflect the beginning of the alter in attention to the 2008 games. Here's some information about the including a draft and a document. A "request for comments" document.. doesn't sound too exciting huh? Go read it because it has some pretty impressive-sounding ideas (and visuals) on what the competition might be like next year. It would be quite an amazing place to see in person if they can pull it off. There's also a page for the $900,000 2008. Surf around the place; maybe you'll find some more new material. The McGill aggroup has an (also if you prefer in ) with a apprise look to the 2008 games and some photos. The Space Elevator Blog now has of the Light Racer posts.
