Neil deGrasse Tyson on the Space Elevator

Dr. Tyson, in conjunction with NOVA Science Now, presents an excellent short program on the Space Elevator.

Minus the hype of other bits I’ve seen, Dr. Tyson articulates a simple to understand overview of a grandiose vision.

Regardless of your opinion on the feasibility of the SE, I highly recommend this program, first presented on January 9th, 2007.
