  Off the Ground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Off the Ground is a Paul McCartney album released in 1993.
In addition, his collaboration with Elvis Costello was rekindled with both "Mistress And Maid" and "The Lovers That Never Were" emerging from their songwriting sessions and reserved for this album.
While Off The Ground hit #5 in the UK and reached #17 in the US, and eventually went gold, it also has the distinction of being the first Paul McCartney album to not contain a sizeable US hit single since Wings' Wild Life in 1971.

 OFF THE GROUND
Off The Ground marked Paul’s first new disc in four years, unless you want to count Liverpool Oratorio (and you probably don’t).
Songs like “Off The Ground” and “C’mon People” might have been lost on earlier albums, but they get the spit and polish they deserve here.
Some may have expected more from the disc because of Paul’s increasingly infrequent releases, but anyone hoping for a McCartney disc to deliver more at this stage is probably off their rocker.

 Space elevator contest gets off the ground - Innovation - MSNBC.com
Climbing robots and super-strong strings are being put to the test this weekend as part of a $100,000 competition that someday might yield new ways to get to outer space.
The race should be over quickly: At that minimum speed, a robot would take about a minute to climb the ribbon, which is about as high as a 16-story building.
In this competition, $50,000 would go to the team whose tether outlasts the others in a pulling machine that Schwager called "a tether torture chamber." To make sure the winning tether really represents a technological leap, it will have to show a 50 percent improvement in breaking force over commercially available products.
