SO, you buy up the major aerospace companies, divide them along functional lines, and sell off the assets you don't need for your programme, pocketing the gains.

Since this merger and allocation of focus is likely to add 20% or more to the bottom line of the facilities you spin off, your acquisition programme not only cuts out you paying profits to build your flight hardware and supply chain, it actually pays dividends.

The total Market Cap of the companies listed below is $322 billion a little more than 10% of the $3,177 billion in your budget once you have commitments from TEPCo and other nuclear plant operators, along with coal fired plant operators.

You only need 51% control to take over the company. As you acquire more of the company prices will likely rise. An efficient acquisition programme by a qualified buyer, will likely gain control for less than its Market Cap at the time the acquisition started.

Merging similar operations, realizing efficiencies, and selling off unneeded divisions and operations, after efficiencies are realized, raises total assets controlled by the acquiring party by $65 billion, to $387 billion. Selling off the divisions and business groups not needed returns $230 billion cash, with you retaining $157 billion of space launch assets, leaving $65 billion more in your pocket in the form of stock and cash.

The cash is sufficient to organize the assets you have along the lines needed to build the large booster and satellite system going forward.

The process also supports the national interest as well since it makes all operations more efficient and removes nonproductive capacities from the market.

The balance of the market:

Humanity uses 989 TWh per year made from oil and another 4,768 TWh per year made from Natural Gas. This requires another 6 satellites - a total of 18 - launched over the first year of real operations. At $0.06 per kWh this translates to an additional $345 billion per year which means as an annuity paying 6.25% over 20 years this has a value of $3,878 billion.

This more than doubles the value of the operation once we fulfill our agreements with the coal and nuclear folks.

But this isn't the sweet spot in energy.

The sweet spot in energy is liquid fuels.

Humanity uses 3,574 million metric tons of crude oil each year at a cost of $2.6 trillion per year.

Once we have a dozen satellites orbiting the Earth, beaming energy to 6,000 nuclear and coal fired power plant facilities, and add another 6 satellites to provide for the needs of natural gas and oil fired power plants, we then acquire the major coal reserves, and convert the 7,783 million metric tons of coal stranded into 7,783 million metric tons of syncrude with the direct addition of hydrogen made from natural gas and 1,167 million metric tons of hydrogen produced by electrolysis using beamed energy from space.

This cuts out entirely the CO2 from conventional oil sales, since the cost of producing oil is greater than the selling price of oil at this volume. The price of fuel drops to around $1 per gallon, as oil prices drop below $40 per barrel, generating $2.1 trillion per year.

To make this hydrogen requires an additional 52 power satellites of the size described, increasing total number of satellites to 70. With five launchers, we increase rates of launch to two per week.

This increased volume of low-cost syncrude sparks an economic revival of unprecedented proportions. Converting the $2.1 trillion per year revenue into an annuity worth $23.6 trillion - radically improves our value and cash flow.

At this point we have the resources and the skill set needed to settle Mars, develop the asteroids, collect energy near the solar surface, develop large laser rockets, and ultimately, depopulate the world.
