Me and my friend Rocky have been trying to achieve the X-Prize for the space elevator. Watch this vid from 2006 to see where we last left off. Not very successful. (Rocky is the one in the wheelchair)

We made the mistake of attempting to use light to power the cells. Now, we want to use laser technology, but we don't know of any engineers in the DFW area with the knowledge. Mark (the guy in the video has moved out of state) and I can start where he left off, but I need an engineer. I am thinking a beam splitter to focus on the power cells to give the lifter the power it needs. He used his deceased dad's inheritance for the last attempts, and unless we get sponsors we cannot move on. I don't want that from you guy's, but we do need someone that is familiar with high powered lasers. I will take care of the sponsors myself. Any takers? The prize money would be worth it! Plus a free trip to New Mexico!!
