Might need a picture or two, but covers the topic well. - Fredrik 01:43, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Object. Lead section way too short. That section needs to act as a concise encyclopedia article in its own right. --mav 07:57, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I expanded it a bit myself. Better? Fredrik 09:09, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Full support - very comprehensive, well-researched and well-written. A masterful example of how a highly technical and nerdy topic can be explained in a way that people without scientific backgrounds can be made to both understand and be interested in the subject. Great work! --mav 21:51, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)


I'll add my support to this one, although if someone could get permission to get a picture for use, it'd be all the better. There've been enough proposals done for the space elevator, at least *one* of the design images should be in the public domain.  :) UPDATE: I just emailed Liftport to ask for permission to use one of their conceptual drawings or renderings. UPDATE: We got permission. I posted some to the article.  :) Rei

Please describe external links - add short descriptions to each link so that it's clear where they are leading.—Eloquence 17:23, Mar 15, 2004 (UTC)
