Speaker:
Highlights from Lawrence Taylor’s talk about the concept of an elevator into outer space. This is totally feasible with today’s knowledge and information on the horizon. Built of carbon nanotubes this elevator will provide cheap travel into outer space. There are many challenges such as magnetic fields and natural vibrations of earth. But, there are many advantages. On a platform in outer space with no atmosphere generating energy from the sun is much easier and eliminates pollution, sending spacecrafts into space will take little effort, and ease of communication will increase. Thank you Lawrence for speaking to the club. Truly you demonstrated the principle of thinking of "others before self."
