Space Solar Power: Recent Conceptual Progress

Lowering launch costs is critical for developing space solar power. Keith Henson at The Oil Drum proposes using Reaction Engine’s Skylon Rocket in a novel way: the  second stage propulsion would be hydrogen heated by an array of  ground-based lasers.

* Random quote

And when at last it is time for the transition from megacorporation to planetary government, from entrepreneur to emperor, it is then that the true genius of our strategy shall become apparent, for energy is the lifeblood of this society and when the chips are down he who controls the energy supply controls Planet. In former times the energy monopoly was called 'The Power Company', we intend to give this name an entirely new meaning.
~CEO Nwabudike Morgan 'The Centauri Monopoly'
