  |  Slashdot // Space Elevator Prototype Climbs MIT Building Jackie O writes "According to an employee blog on the Liftport Group website, their prototype robot for the Space Elevator has just successfully climbed a 260-foot building (in a driving snowstorm, no less) at MIT. Now all they have to get it to do is climb over 60 thousand miles into space, carrying things. Good luck there." Update: 11/17 05:17 GMT by T: Liftport has posted some photos from the ascent, too. Thanks! http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/17/0119213 |
