Eric Westling was the guest for this Space Show program. One field of expertise for Mr. Westling is the space elevator and we began the interview with a comprehensive discussion on the subject. This discussion took us into economics and from there to a discussion about our energy problems, how the space elevator might help resolve them, other possibilities including helium, hydrogen, SPS, etc. We discussed Eric's economic axioms and interested listeners can get a copy of them by sending an email to me. The politics of economics was part of the discussion as was a discussion about free versus manipulated and influenced markets. If you have questions or comments for Mr. Westling, please send them to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward them to him.
