      Carbon Nanotube as Antenna for Light

It occured to me (although I have not confirmed this) that this might be a perfect complement to the ongoing beamed power research - and that further development in CNT production could, as we say in Canada, "stone two birds with one hit."

      LiftWatch.org Well, I've had a busy few months, but I shouldn't have missed this: over the course of the past two months a number of stories were submitted to LiftWatch.org and I wasn't getting the notifications of the submissions. Today I noticed them all sitting there in the queue, and had to kick myself hard, several times. Unfortunately, a couple of them are now outdated, but I have posted the rest. Read on for a list with links to the stories you may have missed...

      Update on NASA's Centenial Challenge
      By: ccampbell on: Mon 20 of Sep, 2004 [15:53 UTC] (4286 reads)
      Announcements Michael Laine submitted this story some time ago (sorry for the delay in posting!! My bad...): "In case anyone doesnt know, nasa's centenial challenge is considering up to 4 possible competitions that could help the SE:
      • strong tethers
      • remote power beaming
      • autonomous, long duration airship (maybe a tethered balloon design)
      • harsh environment (cold and radiation) computing
      but the program is under fire.... coincendentally, it was congressman mollohan from W.V. (brads former ISR patron) that put the breaks on the original vote a few weeks ago, and he was the same guy that helped cut NASA's budget increase...

      Space.com story (cache)

      so, cross your fingers. we want this to be passed.

      take care. mjl"
