I Want a Skyhook in Brooklyn, Like Yesterday

Congratulations are due to Liftport for 1000ft skyhook crawl! (You can see a video and more pictures in their blog). Notable quote: "This lifter is much smarter than our previous versions. It’s our 18th version,” he said, with the Mark VII robot named Sword Over Damocles or "Sword" for short. The belt-driven robot is battery-powered, featuring two motors and an expanded cargo area due to increased intelligence built into the device" Ad: A sci-fi book written like a sci-fi book should be written. A comic book written and drawn the way a comic book should be drawn. This is madness!

I Want a Skyhook in Brooklyn, Like Yesterday
The idea of a city-wide sundial is irresistable, isn't it?
Also it'll sing pretty in the wind. Also I imagine it'd be fun to take rides into space.
It's just really, really good use of the media.
"A comic book written and drawn the way a comic book should be drawn."
Why is that?
I would like to thank you for your interest and support in the space elevator and LiftPort. My name is Ariel Boekweg and I am currently working on the project, along with the rest of our team. You can find out more information about us by subscribing to our monthly newsletter, at http://liftport.com/lists.php. With your support you can help us make it happen. Thanks for your interest.
Sincerely, Ariel Boekweg
Man, Y the last man standing was really something... The best comics ive read in ages. Really a must read.
