how these collectors may look like

How can we know if LiftPort can organize anything at all, if they cannot complete such a simple task as delivering prizes to kickstarter supporters?

I'm not vilifying you and there's nothing personal in what I'm saying. Building such a magnificent structure as a space elevator would require getting together thousands of people overcoming a lot of powerful people resistance. In other words, orders of magnitude harder then hiring a minimum wage person to mail out some items.

A project of such magnitude is not going to be accomplished by a few genius engineers working in in someone's garage. Thousands of people (including engineers) will have to work together, and those people will have to be:

a) found and hired

b) told what to do

c) paid

All the tasks above have nothing to do with pure engineering and everything to do with good ol' organizing and delegating.
