Building a space elevator would require anchoring a cable on the ground near Earth’s equator and deploying the other end thousands of kilometres into space. The centrifugal force due to Earth’s spin would keep the cable taut so that a robot could climb it and release payloads into orbit.

Though building a space elevator might require an initial investment of billions of dollars, proponents say once constructed, it would make for cheaper trips into space than is possible using rockets. But huge technological hurdles must first be overcome, including how to supply power to the robotic climber.

Now, a robotic climber has made a prize-winning ascent worth $900,000, making it the first to win money in the competition

Ted Semon, a volunteer with the Spaceward Foundation, a non-profit that organised the competition, and author of the Space Elevator Blog, says the feat shows space elevators are one step closer to getting off the ground. “We’ve done a lot here to demonstrate that this technology is possible,” he told New Scientist. “This is just enormously exciting.”

“It’s a mass meditation to stop the dude’s pacemaker.

A shitload of people contacted me when I first suggested it a month or

so ago, expressing both interest and amusement. The reason I picked

this date is because it’s the one year anniversary of his most recent

cardiological exam. Lots of hate has undoubtedly been directed at our

former VP over the last 8 or 9 years, but I submit that no one has

focused much attention on this little device that keeps his wicked old

ticker going. Well,. that needs to change! So let’s DO DIS!

I’m

guessing most of you are off work on Sunday, but even if you’re not,

just take a few moments to focus your mental energies on making the

pacemaker putt out. If you need help with visualization, just imagine

the thing slowly turning into a Yugo (see below), which then throws a

rod in the desert. Maybe pour a little beer into the gas tank for good

measure. I bet Cheney likes to pour beer into his own gas tank anyway

(especially while he’s out hunting birds), so that seems quite fitting.

Alternatively,

you can have him fall victim to a rabid sasquatch in the woods, who

then removes the still-pumping pacemaker from his nefarious chest.

The date is Sunday, July 12. Folks, let’s do this for the betterment of humanity!

A last post before we bounce out for a little break:

“Subliminal Films present:
The Philosopher’s StoneDirected and produced by Raymond Salvatore Harmon
featuring the music of Bogstarring Jacob Andrew Myers
introducing Isobel Julianna Harmon

The Philosopher’s Stone tells the story of Jacob Fausstman, a scientist and early alchemist who searches for the key to curing man of the disease of death. In his frustration Jacob stumbles onto another path to achieve his goals. Turning to the dark arts Jacob conjures the demon Mephistopheles and is given the key to eternal life. But his perceptions of ‘life eternal’ and the nature of his existence comes into question once he has obtained his desire for true knowledge.

Base in equal parts on the Faustian archetype and the biographical story of Dr. Albert Hoffmann’s accidental discovery of LSD, The Philosopher’s Stone is an homage to early German Expressionist cinema and the psychedelic visualizations of drug culture.”
