Liftport has successfully tested its climber robot to an altitude of 1000 ft on a ribbon suspended from a balloon, part of a series stepping towards 1 mile. There is coverage all across the web. WorldChanging has nice commentary plus links.

The latest word is that the Liftport book will be out about the New Year or so.
