I want to see an affordable way to build the ribbon for the space elevator. I would like to see that in&lt;br&gt;my lifetime. Maybe we'll even see affordable tickets to space in a couple of decades.</description></item><item><title>Under the neutron microscope</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/01/848185.aspx#851455</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:29:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:851455</guid><dc:creator>Thomas Jefferson, Monticello </dc:creator><description>Maybe we could use this device to find the last shred of National integrity before it disappears. &amp;nbsp;And there it goes..</description></item><item><title>Under the neutron microscope</title><link>http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/01/848185.aspx#852205</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2008 20:21:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:852205</guid><dc:creator>Francis Sutherland, BCC, Barbados.</dc:creator><description>As a school teacher I was discussing the electron microscope with my students.
