The world's nine largest science projects
I'm really looking forward to #8.

1. Large Hadron collider at CERN

2. Next-stop, cold fusion?: The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)

3. The finished International Space Station, circa 2011

4. A 3,000-foot-tall "Solar tower" in the Australian outback

5. The largest -scale climate-change simulator on Earth

6. James Webb Space Telescope

7. The Svalbard "Doomsday" Seed Vault

8. Space elevator

9. The ANTARES underwater neutrino detecting array

1. .
Dude, I think you just booked my summer.

Thanks for that post. Fascinating, but gee whiz, now I have to look all that stuff up and actually learn something.

And yes, number 8 is pretty fantastic!
