people: I noticed the mention of "carbon nanotube" which
I believe makes the whole Space Elevator approach
feasible. I was under impression this used the c-c bond in
diamond but just found out otherwise. Per a wikipedia site
carbon nanotube technology uses an sp2 bond similar to
that in graphite as opposed to the sp3 bond in diamond !!
Site I found gives a shorthistory of carbon nanotube development
plus lots of data in case anyone's interested at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube
Is this all elementary to the Space Elevator enthusiasts in
group? (I still favor the mass-transit space shuttle approach
myself). Hallelujah Praise Spacesettlers !!!!! Ed S.

It is never too late when you present the interesting quantitative
