I was startled with how quickly it all came back to me, including the instinct to wait for 5 minutes to see if Strong Bad had more to say. (He did not.)
Last week I posted a link to a trailer of a documentary about the space elevator. Here the Washington Post questions the feasibility of this invention. From the sounds of it, the space elevator could be the next Space Race.
