›Blue Marble Week | March 2021: Elevators, Space Edition
From Icarus to Jack and the beanstalk, to ancient Anasazi legends – we have dreamed of ascending to the heavens. Usually, these are cautionary tales. “Don’t tempt the gods.” “Don’t rise above your station.” And yet, we rise. First, we dreamed of flying - we achieved it. Then we dreamed of launching - done. The next step was a “giant leap” on the Moon. Now what? Elevators.
Blue Marble Week | March 2021 will explore:
- Gravitational Elevators (Lunar Space Elevator Infrastructure) and
- Centripedal Elevators (Space Elevators from Earth)
We’ll look at both through the lenses of
1) Hardware, 2) Business, 3) Outreach, and 4) Framework
Join us for a host of speakers discussing the topics of:
1) Workforce Development
2) Infrastructure and Space Hardware
3) The Linkage of Cyber and Space
4) Transportation and Industrial Bases
