⬆️ @sundogplanets >> The costs are high, the environmental effects are potentially catastrophic, there are huge safety issues, and the benefits are negligible.
@nebulousmenace >> *nods* my hope is they're just in it to harvest venture capital.
That was #ReflectOrbital in October 2025. Now, yet another startup #Helio makes the case for #SpaceSolar or #SBSP
This one seeks to harvest #solar energy, convert it to microwaves, and transmit it wirelessly to Earth

(Ed: also great powering #gigawatt scale data #ai centers & sending excess power back to earth at profit)

@slow_developer
Amazon CEO, Jeff #Bezos:
Within 10-20 years, the giant, gigawatt-scale data centers for #AI training clusters will be built in space
This would leverage 24/7 solar power and make space a key part of Earth's industrial and technological infrastructure

The Race for Space-Based Solar Power
Once a sci-fi staple, the ability to beam solar power from space now seems closer than ever—but a lot of work remains.

Space-based solar ☀️ power (#SBSP) - beaming clean #energy to #Earth from orbital #solar farms.
The #UK 🇬🇧, #US 🇺🇸 and #Chinese 🇨🇳 governments are funding research, #ESA 🇪🇺 has approved a 3-year study named #Solaris.
One reason that #SPSB is back on the agenda is the plummeting #cost per kilogram of launching #payloads into #space.
Thanks to #reusable #rockets, this figure has fallen nearly 20-fold in two decades, while solar panels have become #lighter. https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2022-12-20/space-based-solar-power-europe-funding-research/101733558#Microwave power transmission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power#Microwave_power_transmission
