okay, so if you’re like most of my readers, you are wondering how we are going to get those mirrors into orbit around the sun. well, we will use…
a Railgun!
to launch stuff into space. it will be an electromagnetic track that launches our satellites at high speeds. our satellites will be packed tight for launch, unfurling like a big origami once in orbit.
from this point, we can take advantage of exponential growth. each panel works together to build another. those two work together to build the next two, 4 become 8, 8 become 16, and so on. within just 60 doubling times, we will have enough mirrors surrounding the sun!if each panel took a month to build, we could be done in a decade! even collecting 1% of the suns energy will exceed the earth’s energy budget many times over! this could be vety good. the catch? (there is always a catch.) well, that’s for pt 4…
