The race is on to build the first "space elevator' - long dismissed as science fiction - to carry people and materials into orbit along a carbon-nanotube cable thousands of miles long. Read | prev
Hi
Sorry I can't resist commenting this, but the space lift are the most promising of the new technologies, or rather the most exiting platform for develobment of that many new fantastic materials and visions.
Oposed the heavy energy consuming technology of today ,this is an investment in the right direction, away from old technikes and in to exiting new ground ----- eh space.
Emagine the same technology on other planets, planets with less gravity, emagine what materials can be produced by robots first we get there, emagine we try do that, instead of fighting eachother.

... I just keep thinking of that time when Augustus Gloop got stuck in the nantotube ...
