Hopefully 2008 will be far less stressful for you than 2007. @Mike - I wasn't expecting you to blow my mind (which would be pretty hard unless you're talking about exoplanets or singularities), but I'll still look forward to your posts. @Michelle - I hope you enjoy some of these sites. They've brought me quite a bit of laughs and information over 2007. @Brian - Eventually we humans will wake up and look at cost effectiveness rather than speed. As it sits now, it takes days after deployment for most satellites to be brought online. So what's the big rush to get them into space? A 2 hour trip should be just as acceptable as a 10 minute burn :???: @Thomas - You're welcome. I hope you can get a few new readers from me :) @SpaceElevator Guy – I look forward to reading more from LiftPort in the future. Hopefully 2008 will be far less stressful for you than 2007.

Things are looking up, and once I settle in to the new location, I have a couple pieces of good news to talk about (and some bad, but the good is much better than the bad). So, I expect to be blogging more. I made a commitment to more entries, right when I was cut off from the world - no phones, or Internet for a little while, as I moved. Internet is back up, and phone will be on this week. New office (not much, but it's a start) and shiny new business plan. Overall, I am pretty happy, and there will be a lot of blog entries coming. Thanks for your ongoing support. This has been a rough year, and your support (and others) has been a big help. Take care. mjl J, thanks for the kind words.

Its always nice to hear that someone is out there reading what I write. Haha, don't worry no more Pay Per Posts! They were a good way to help pay for my hobby but those days are gone! Hope you will enjoy reading what I write in the new year but I can't say that is going to blow your mind... Just more of what I know, which is Michael McKinlay! I should have some more material as I've been taking lots of photos here on my trip to Arizona! Peace! Mike Hey Jason,

The good news is ... if space elevators are at all a workable idea, someone is going to build one. The bad news is ... 'cost effective' does not always equal success. It's more cost effective (I admit this is a minority opinion) to run a business with unix workstations than Windows desktops. Travel by lighter than air is more cost effective than heavier than air - but people predicting a revival of LTA travel and they keep on being wrong. But darn if 'space elevators' aren't an elegant way to travel. I will still keep my eye on them, though, as I feel space elevator technology is the most cost effective means of consistently escaping our planet’s gravity well.

However, since I have rarely used IE this year, I can't be sure if it was on Rob's site, or someone else's. I look forward to following your sites in 2008, Nick. You have a consistent energy and optimism that's almost contagious. I say almost, because when I read your posts after a hard day's work, I just don't feel much energy :P Keep up the great posts!
