Space Elevator Continues Its Climb

LiftPort has taken another step towards making the Space Elevator a reality with its new carbon nanotube plant in Millville, N.J.

Although this plant won't be making the SE's cable yet, this is yet another concrete baby step on the way. This matters because it is yet another bit of proof that LiftPort isn't all talk and candy dreams. The people behind LiftPort are serious about making an elevator to the stars and they are actually progressing towards that goal in measurable ways.
