Please do not worry. Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are on top of this idea of building an elevator 62,000 miles into space. But just think how silly engineers surely sounded that day some 170 years ago when they proposed digging up every street in every city to lay pipes to every dwelling ... and their ensuing idea to lay wire mazes that would allow everyone to talk with anyone in the country. That and deliver last spring's movies, high-speed spam and "Everybody Loves Raymond." Clearly, nothing like an elevator into space will ever work. This is an editorial from the LA Times. No, not an op-ed from a humorist. It is an unsigned editorial, right after one about Governor Schwarzenegger and before one about traffic safety. The tone of it strikes me as very odd. That, and jabs at "Raymond" seem to be popping up everywhere. Punch Troposphere for Me |
