Space Solar Advantages

  • Space solar panels yield 5x more power (no atmosphere loss).
  • No batteries neededโ€”continuous sunlight in orbit.
  • Lower manufacturing costs (no weatherproofing required).

Orbital AI Infrastructure

  • Starship could launch 10,000 times/year (1 every hour).
  • 30 ships needed for 100GW/year AI deployment.
  • Moon-based manufacturing proposed for silicon/aluminum.
