With space flight changing over to civilian will the reporting of UFO sighting change? In the media they have been reporting that NASA has been covering up UFO sighting for a long time.
I just seen there is a private space plane getting ready to launch.

I have often wondered and said it to other people about why we were and maybe still are so transfixed on using rockets to get to space. The X-15 & SR71 flew there. Did the U-2 as well.

I was just thinking about that space elevator proposal. Could we go one better by attaching a tether to the moon and running an elevator on it. Would it keep our moon from getting further away also?

This sounds like an idea from a comic book published back in the fifties. I doubt we'd have the resources to do it, but it does sound neat. |

They keep changing their definition of space and its never right. Why can't the wings get you near the top of the atmosphere then have other devises take over? |

I think that I seen this from several sources over the years. I was thinking about it today. Not only would it be an elevator it should also be one hell of a power plant. |

Yahoo News has a story about an elevator to a space station which might be completed by 2050 and yes, it would be able to generate solar power. Also, this article is a prime example of how important it is not to rely too much on a spell checker which can only tell you if the word is spelled correctly, not if it's the correct word. realitypod.com/2013/02/japanese-company-to-build-an-elevator-from-earth-to-space/ |

I could see this happening and hope that I'll still be alive when and if it does. It might occur within my lifetime.  |

I think that I heard it did way better then expected. Remember it broke loose and floated away. |
