Re: Extension Mechanism
Can this be a one-shot mechanism; i.e., can it start within the original 500 x 1000 x 2000 limits, then deploy once to reach the 6000 - 7000 height, requiring manual intervention to get it back to the starting configuration?
And how much payload do you need to raise to the target height?
[edit: I was thinking of some shock-corded tent poles with sections of fishing rod to deploy them.]

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
