Hi, for those who don’t know me, my name is Manuel Antonio Cuba. I have worked before with Michael on space related projects and after being two years away arranging personal matters, I am back.
Right now my M-F 9-6 work is at Hewlett-Packard Peru as Technical Specialist for Peru & Bolivia. There, I work two cubicles away from Jorge Luis Revilla who is the other Latin America Research Coordinator (LARC’s) for Liftport. I am an industrial engineer from the University of Lima and currently doing the postgraduate courses for the same career. My thesis is on the space launch industry, and after some initial bumps, it has been finally approved. Now, back to Liftport.

Basically, a LARC is an individual who dedicates its time not only finding contacts interested in the Space Elevator, be it for research or investment, but also has to create space awareness. How are we going to do it? Lot of talks at local schools and universities. That is the first step.
As we progress we will keep you informed. Unfortunately my posts will be, initially, weekly, every Saturday or Sunday. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us
