This video clip is of the University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team's robotic climber at the Elevator:2010 Competition in NM. This is the climb that placed them first at the this years competition (October 19 and 20). This is the second consecutive year that the USST outperformed all other competing teams.Visit www.usst.ca for more information.

pretty simple actually. its like if you had a ball connected to a string and spun it in circles. the string is going to stay "stretched". now just on a bigger scale.

It's a proof of concept test. A space elevator would be a revolutionary invention if it was ever built.

Yea moron but this thing in this video isnt going to out of space! MORON!

Hey man, definitely props to you if you can fly a hot air balloon or climb a rope or a kite to space like that thing. That's a pretty good achievement for ya.

I think the theory is that the orbit of the satellite at the top will counteract the gravity of the ribbon. That is why they're trying to use carbon nanotubes: lightweight and extremely strong.

WoW Why not just ride in a hot air balloon? More Technology than this crap! My little sister's kite looks more High Tech! LOL WTF is everyone so excited about? Give me a rope i can climb that shit faster!

this carbon nanotubes thingy is promising but how exactly are they planning to stretch out the string with a sufficient weight to keep it stretched

Nice!!..now we need to have a faster and reliable way to create nanotubes and improve in PV technology. I give it 10 to 20 years. shorter time if the principles of moore's law can be applied to our technological advancement

carbon nanotubes are strong enough and knwo it would not be suspended from something, centrifugal force would keep it suspended

"...Geostationary orbit is 25,000 miles above..."I think the idea is to have a counterbalance out in space so the elevator belt stays tight (hence no need to worry about how far the the Clarke Belt is).
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
