In pursuit of NASA loot.

Big news. We have landed National Instruments as a sponsor. For those of you who don’t know them, they make the coolest automation software out there (LabVIEW) and all the hardware to go with it. Having high quality software and hardware will make this task far easier than it would have been otherwise and National Instruments is second to none.

Drum roll please ....

I am going to be interviewed about the Space Elevator on NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Date: Friday, May 2nd

Time: Very late. After the Tonight Show - Around 11:30pm in Kansas City

I have read reports estimating 2 million viewers. Needless to say I am excited and nervous. I am not sure how much the space elevator has been discussed on national network TV but this is clearly a big opportunity. Hope I don’t blow it.
