Liftport's 1000 foot balloon test


On their way to someday creating a space elevator, Liftport is making progress. They've been working on their latest robot ascender, "Sword over Damocles" and after securing clearance to send a balloon up 1,000 feet, they successfully tested the ascender on the ribbon. Take a look at the pictures here, and the video here, very exciting!
