How to go to space using a broomstick

If scientists have their way, future astronauts would be literally going into space by a broomstick, in the form of a 100,000km long tether anchored to the Earth as a “space elevator”. using-a-broomstick-200x300 How to go to space using a broomstick

French Miami, 'Science Fiction': Free MP3 of the Day

Loosely speaking, French Miami is a rock band. Using rock music as a starting point, French Miami use its structures as the glue holding together more abstract musical ideas: dizzying, jagged guitar riffs anchored around pulsing synths, harmo- nized finger-tapping accenting tightly wound grooves, precise stop-start timing.

Opinion: Copyright Experts Must Be Proactive To Foster Change

Earlier this year, BMI, in association with the Creative & Innovative Economy Center at the George Washington University Law School, launched Creative Industries in Transition, a series of symposia that focus on the future of creativity and intellectual property rights in the digital age. Anchored by a collection of thought-provoking white papers written by leading academics from around the world, including former Register of Copyright Ralph Oman, currently Pravel Professorial Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law at the George Washington University Law School, and Robert P. Merges, co-director of the Center for Law and Technology at the University of California in Berkeley, the program examines the opportunities and threats that face intellectual property creators and explores solutions that will help the creative and business communitie

Space Elevator Too Unstable for Now

The space elevator has been regarded as a cheaper alternative to carrying crew, equipment or even spacecraft into space, instead of using high-cost rockets to do the job. The lift would consist of a cable (also referred to as a tether or a ribbon) to be anchored to the planet's surface at one end and to a space-based counterweight at the other, with a "climber" powered by lasers going up and down. But recent studies have proved that the actual process of hauling things up the cable would cause it to shake and swing dangerously up to a point where it would collide with satellites or debris in the area.

Weingarten Secures Best Buy to Anchor Ridgeway Trace With Target

Weingarten Realty (NYSE:WRI) continues construction of its 312,000-square-foot Ridgeway Trace Shopping Center at the southeast corner of Poplar Ave and I-240 in Memphis, TN. Being built on the former site of the 450-unit Ridgeway Trace Apartments, Best Buy is the latest anchor tenant to sign on to the Target-anchored center.

Carefully Timed Jerks Could Power Space Elevator

Hugh Pickens writes "BBC has an interesting article on the long-standing issue of how to power the 'climber' that would ascend a space elevator into space. Previous ideas have included delivering microwave or laser power to the climber beamed from the Earth's surface, but now European Space Agency ground station engineer Age-Raymond Riise has demonstrated a device that could provide a "lift into space" for cheaper space missions along a 100,000-km long tether anchored to the Earth. Riise demonstrated sending power mechanically by providing carefully timed jerks of the cable at its base with a broomstick to represent the cable held in tension, an electric sander to provide a rhythmic vibration to the bottom of the stick, and three brushes representing the climber with their bristles pointing downwards allowing the climber assembly to slide
