This morning marks a big moment in my career. I have long wished to be a popularizer of science, and there are few better venues for this than Scientific American. I had originally submitted a very technical article about space elevators to them, but they asked for something more 'fun', so I rewrote it. I am so pleased with the result: Space Elevators are Less Sci-Fi than you Think. I feel quite elated on this November morning.
