1/2 Today there are three known materials strong enough for a #SpaceElevator: carbon nanotubes, hexagonal boron nitride, and single crystal graphene. Single crystal #graphene is currently the most promising. www.isec.org/space-elevat...
Here's an excellent summary video generated by NotbookLM for @gurbirsingh.bsky.social based on his discussion with @adriannixon.bsky.social and Rob Whieldon on the #SpaceElevator and how #Graphene will enable it...

Here's some fictional news about a Mars Space Elevator. We don't agree with all the technical speculation ... a Mars Elevator is certainly feasible, though we doubt it'll be made with Iridium !

Decided to start a new #VR #art #discipline - i'll shuffle an artist + play them while I use #SpaceElevator and/or #OpenBlock & #OpenBrush.
Tonight's artist is Miles Davis. Feel free to share, 100% digital, gestural improv studies as practice.

One of my earliest memories is a ♥️-felt fascination for the cosmos. Always wanted to go to space & discover its wonders... well, never going to happen. (BTW, let's have a #spaceelevator!!) But pictures like these make me smile every time, cause they show us what mankind is capable of. #science

A futuristic out of the way seaside landscape, with the mechanical anchoring of a space elevator sunk deep into sturdy rock formations, and the tall structure rising into a soft sky. Watercolor style.
a space elevator anchor station is usually located somewhere the zoning laws are pretty lax

For my #space obsessed followers, here’s a fun site that puts you on a #SpaceElevator and lets you ascend through the various layers of the atmosphere - with interesting and fun notes, even #elevatorMusic. What’s not to love? #elevator #science #STEM #fun

This is a really nice visualisation of just how far space is and what we’d see along the way
