The Conan Show was a big hit. I managed not to choke and remained
rather articulate through the 5 min interview. We did not however get
to cover the competition, the team or the sponsors. They were on the
list but I had no idea how fast time would fly. I felt that I was on
for only 30 seconds. We clearly managed to inform thousands of viewers
about the space elevator and raise awareness.
I saw a big jump in web site visitors but only received 1 small
donation. The show will be re-run at least once so even more may come
of it. I will keep you posted.
You can go watch the video on the NBC site if you missed it.
We mechanically steered an beam! It was just a laser pointer and only
in 1 dimension. Still it is a small but significant step in our mission.
We are planning to go to the ISDC (International Space Development
Conference) in Washington DC at the end of this month. I plan on
meeting with potential supporters there and hopefully securing the
funds needed for the rest of this year.
