Maybe I've missed it in the limited time I've spent looking for it on the
site, but I couldn't find even a rough analysis of the projected costs.
Even the most gullible guardians of public funds would likely be
suspicious of claims that have no supporting analysis whatsoever.


It's found on the TedX video on the left side of the homepage.
The estimates are at about minute 13 of the video. Except for the
silly stats about energy needs around the year 2100, it points out
very well all the various niches SSP should have a l l to itself.
There's plenty of markets out there for energy that travels as well
as SSP.

In particular, it's the only solar power source that can be directly
plugged into baseload power grids, terrestrial solar and most
green sources can't add to the grid, only reduce demand.
Not a small point.

Here's the direct link
