Mix of stuff*
Lot of stuff to mention. First of all, today the newspapers announced that the HSBC is going to enter the Peruvian financial market. According to Yahoo Finance, this bank had a revenue of 70 860 billion in 2004 and is considered the third bank in the world.
These are great news for Peru. It is another proof that our economy is leaving behind decades of stagnation and economic models from the 19th century.
Now, back to LPG and some announcements. We are working on the development of two books (by different entities) who wish to have a Space Elevator chapter. Unfortunately we can’t tell who they are but I can say that they will help us promote the project.
Like the Etiqueta Negra article, they will take between 9 and 11 months to develop.
On the other side, we will retake the Talk at Schools project. Last year it was impossible for me to do it, but my new day job gives me complete control of my schedule.
Finally, I want to thank Tomoaki Nishimura for helping us with the Japanese version of the site.
