Recently, Andrew was taking a walk in a park and all of the sudden, further up the path he saw a strange, hairless creature staring back at him. Then, being the fearless man that he is, Andrew took out his iPhone and went into the bushes to find the creature. You can see his pictures and video here.
The Great "Mars vs. Space Elevator" Debate
A discussion about SpaceX's plans to go to Mars morphed into a heated debate over which they would prefer, a mission to Mars in the next 10 years or so, or the beginning of a space elevator in 10 years.
Justin and Andrew chose the Mars mission because they felt that that would have a much quicker impact on our society and maybe get people excited about space travel again. Then with the added knowledge and support gained from the Mars mission, they would be much better equipped to tackle to space elevator.
Brian on the other hand felt that if the ultimate goal is to get a space elevator, just build the damn space elevator. We shouldn't waste our time trying to get to Mars with land based rockets, if we have a space elevator, getting to Mars will be so much easier.
Despite all of the friendly arguing, they could all agree on one thing- "Guv'ment ain't gonna give you no space elevator"
