Why Space Based Solar Isn’t Entirely Stupid. Head over to eightsleep.com/mattferrell and use the code MATT to get $200 off Pod 5 Core and $350 off Pod 5 Ultra. Aetherflux is ditching massive solar farms for single satellites closer to Earth for space solar power. They plan to use high-powered lasers to beam energy to small, mobile receivers. If this tech reaches lift-off, it could one day deliver power where infrastructure doesn’t exist … from disaster zones to military bases. Could this be the special use case that finally launches space-based solar power? And if this approach works, could it eventually make orbital energy cheap enough for the rest of us?
