	Description:		For Beyond 50's "Emerging Trends" talks, listen to an interview with bestselling author, William R. Forstchen. He'll talk about his NASA-inspired work of fiction on the belief that nanotechnology and the advent of a space elevator will become the definers of the 21st century. In his new book, "Pillar to the Sky," the United States is facing the worst deficit in the nation's history, environmental crisis are becoming an all-too-real threat, another oil crisis has pushed the price of oil over $150 a barrel, and war is once again brewing in the Middle East. Two of NASA's scientists are on a mission to solve the ever-increasing problems of the 21st century: Dr. Gary Morgan, an astrophysicist, and his wife Evgeniya "Eva" Oskanova Morgan, an aerospace engineer. They have been working on a project to create a space elevator that would reach from the equator to geosynchronous orbit, twenty-three thousand miles above the earth. With NASA's breakthroughs in nanotechnology, Gary and Eva truly believe a super strong, super light cable can be created that could make their dream of a space elevator a reality within the next decade.
