Carnival of Space #39

The Carnival of Space week 39 is up at Visual Astronomy

My contribution is an article on what the 2008 space elevator contest will look like (an impressive 1000 meter line from a blimp) and what are the targets for the prizes

Astropixie has a simulation video of a Spaceship Two flight.

BAd Astronomy confirms that asteroid 2007 TU24 will not hit the earth

However, a US spy satellite will crash to earth.

Centauri Dreams talks about magnetic assembly in space
