Space Elevator Lift Ticket

04/10/2007 5:11 PM

Came across this while looking for ski lift tickets on ebay. Lift-Port Space Elevator

The LiftPort Group is dedicated to building a mass transportation system to open up access to the inner solar system (LEO, GEO, the Moon, Mars, and asteroids). The LiftPort Space Elevator will be at the heart of this revolutionary transportation service. By opening up broad-based access to Earth orbits and the inner solar system, LiftPort Group will help bring about the creation of entire new markets.

The LiftPort Lift Ticket represents the new cost to space access once the LiftPort Space Elevator is completed. Our target price is $400/lb - a small fraction of today's launch costs.

Is it just too good to be true? YES!

We're very upfront about what we're up to; we don't know that it can be done, we don't know all the details of how it will be done. Our plan is to R+D to a go/no-go point in 2009.

The Lift Tickets are clearly marked non-negotiable and are seen as a collector's item only. The idea is to use that - and other items for sale on our site - to help defray operating costs.

So .. ya it's currently too good to be true. It may or may not always be that way.

I'll see you on the "Dark side of the moon" then.
