SEATTLE, Aug. 19 — The world’s space programs are vertically
challenged. What’s needed is a revolutionary low-cost way to move payloads
and people into Earth orbit and then outward to the asteroids, Mars and

strategists want to tackle the ultimate high-rise project for the 21st

calculations to paper and wrestling with the toughest challenges.
