Got spare money?

Wasn't that an Asimov idea? Or was it Clark who thought up of it?

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Asimov never wrote about it (IIRC), but Clarke did in Fountains of Paradise.

Anywas,

Inflate your Upload Space

A few years ago, I've read an article in "Spektrum der Wissenschaft ", the German edition of Scientific American, which dealt with alternative ways to lift space cargo. Some really interesting ideas.

What scares me is that the greatest part of the energy is taken from the rotation of the earth. Ok, that's not really a problem unless we plan to send a sizeable fraction of earths mass into space.
