Orbital Colony/Space Elevator About the space elevator topic i might add that its been an idea always out there but never pursued for the lack of the right material to be used in building it till the discovery of "fabrication of carbon nanotubes". Check the link for more info.

Well I think we've got our first IGS, although it's password protected so we'll have to wait until the game actually starts to get a peek at it.

Not sure how it will come into play (or if it will), but there's a familiar name attached to the site....unless of course it's coincidence

can someone either sum up or point to what is known about orbital colony so far? I tried searching but can only find bits and pieces here and there. I'm still somewhat new to the ARG community and trying to decide whether or not to get involved in this one.
edit: ok now i think i'm starting to get a feel for it thanks to orbitalcolony.com, sorry for the unnecessary post.

Research: space elevators Here's a nifty animation about space elevators
http://www.isr.us/SEanimation.asp
It's background music makes me smile.
I'm also patiently anticipating the launch of "Orbital Colony".

Major Update !! ?? O.k. guys. As we all in #unfiction know... i recieved (and other people too), an e-mail from liftport the other day. It has the following link : http://www.liftportmedia.com . If you follow it you come to a place where they seem to be selling cheap rides(??) to various heights/ planets.
I will attatch th email for everybody to see. It also was notably called the December "Newsletter" so real-world or in game ?... its an arguable discussion.
And I'll see you in chat !

I would LOVE to see this game start off, but I dunno about the e-mail... I mean, I know emails can be spoofed, but the site doesn't look very in-game to me.

I'm pretty sure Liftport is not "in-game". Just good background material. It has been there way before discussion about OC started.

Legit Buisness. Great info Kona,
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Liftport has just been proven to be a legitamite buisness as to end the argue whether it was or wasn't.
BUT,
What In the HELL does it have to do with Orbital Colony ?
I mean... we know what the video teaser contains, (and I applaud the great work), but i still feel like we are missing a key to the keyhole here.
It keeps on taunting me and never actually does anything .
To sum it all up,
Hurry the freak up OC !
We want you like sex with supermodels....
