	Space elevator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A space elevator cannot be an elevator in the typical sense (with moving cables) due to the need for the cable to be significantly wider at the center than the tips.
		However, most space elevator designs call for the use of multiple parallel cables separated from each other by struts, with sufficient margin of safety that severing just one or two strands still allows the surviving strands to hold the elevator's entire weight while repairs are performed.
		Space elevators have high capital cost but low operating expenses, so they make the most economic sense in a situation where it would be used over a long period of time to handle very large amounts of payload.

	What is Lift?
		Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air.
		Lift is generated by every part of the airplane, but most of the lift on a normal airliner is generated by the wings.
		Lift is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid.

	Lift ups the ante in the space race - Business - Business - theage.com.au
		SPACE may still be the final frontier, but getting there could soon be almost as simple as stepping into the office lift at the start of the day.
		The race is on to build the first "space lift" - long dismissed as science fiction - to carry people and materials into orbit along a cable thousands of kilometres long.
		The companies behind the space lift say they will be able to lift material into orbit for as little as $1150 a kilogram, compared with $57,800 a kilogram using existing rockets.

		However, a balloon this size should be able to lift a fueled space shuttle to around 100,000 feet, release and allow powered flight from that point.
		...that a helium baloon was used to lift a conventional rocket to the upper stratosphere and then the rocket took over; firing its engine straight up through the balloon, having a pointed nose cone to affect this achievement.
		As altitude is increased lift efficiency decreases as the amount of air pushing per unit volume of balloon drops.

	Space Shuttle Return to Flight Gets a "LIFT" from NASA Dryden F-15B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		To help the Space Shuttle safely return to flight, NASA engineers are acquiring data on how insulating foam debris or "divots" behave when these small pieces are shed from the Shuttle's external fuel tank during launch.
		Two panels of Space Shuttle TPS insulation were mounted on the flight test fixture underneath NASA's F-15B during the Lifting Foam Trajectory flight test series.
		The Lifting Insulating Foam Trajectory (LIFT) flight test series at Dryden is using the research center's F-15B jet Research Testbed aircraft to test divots at speeds up to approximately twice the speed of sound (Mach 2).

	Airbus, Space Activities Lift EADS 2004 Profit By 60 Percent
		The result was higher than the company had expected and the group, which owns 80 percent of the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus and has wide military interests in the aeronautics sector, said it was raising its target for operating profit this year.
		The space division switched into profit with an EBIT of 10 million euros from a loss of 400 million euros in 2003, enabling the business to look forward to solid growth, EADS said.
		The division making military transport aircraft reported an EBIT of 26 million euros, a fall of 13.0 percent from 30 million euros in 2003 owing to a surge of charges for early retirements to 28 million euros from 17 million euros and the costs of a a drive to sell refuelling aircraft.

	Bush May Announce Return To Moon At Kitty Hawk
		A report by Space Lift Washington and published by NASA Watch suggests a major new space policy initiative is under consideration and may be announced by US President George Bush at celebrations planned for the centenary of flight at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina December 17th.
		According to Space Lift Washington, President Bush may announce at Kitty Hawk a return to manned lunar exploration but without any specific massive new funding, forcing NASA to get serious about what it wants to do with it considerable human spaceflight assets and decades of experience.
		The Space Lift report further added that: "in an early phase of the meetings, manned Mars expeditions were considered too expensive and risky to adopt as a central goal for the civil space program"

		Missions to retrieve highvalue assets for repair or upgrade (remotely on orbit, at a space station, or back on earth); to resupply space platforms with things like fuel, food, or weapons; or even to collect space debris and "dead" satellites from highly populated orbits are also possible.
		Space operations must become as routine and nonexotic as air operations.
		However, the lift team does recognize that tradeoffs will be an integral part of any decision to pursue onorbit operations vehicles (i.e., Is it better to repair/service/upgrade a particular satellite or replace it?).

		In addition, non-coalition countries wishing to lift payloads aboard the elevator could be subjected to inspections — ensuring that nothing undesirable is lifted to orbit.
		Militaries preach that active space asset defense is essential, and yet there are very few ways to make this a reality besides the passive methods.
		Control of a space elevator would not only allow the coalition to defend its own space assets more effectively, but it could also keep competitors from increasing their own space assets.

	The Space Review: The great launch debate
		While some have argued that the glut of launch vehicles on the market today, along with vehicles in the planning stages, is sufficient to handle the demands of the vision, others have concluded that a new, larger vehicle is required to loft heavy payloads to the Moon and beyond.
		Some organizations, like the commercially-minded Space Frontier Foundation, are skeptical of a new government-developed heavy-lift vehicle, instead preferring the private sector develop vehicles and provide launch services to the government on a commercial basis.
		The space agency, meanwhile, is crunching the numbers on implementing the vision, and is apparently looking for ways to avoid developing a clean sheet heavy-lifter, seeing instead if it’s possible to upgrade an EELV to meet any heavy-lift requirements.
