@Rainmaker1973 Interestingly, however, average power density of the sun is comparable to a compost heap (humans are more power dense than the sun) – it is just very, very big

@SawyerMerritt There are many other good causes, but this is my main reason for accumulating capital. The resources I consume personally are very low.

@Tenjin37151 @Space_Station @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @NASA @esa @JAXA_en @astro_kimbrough @Astro_Megan @Thom_astro @Aki_Hoshide As described in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (great book), a linear accelerator would be great for the moon. Earth’s gravity is too high & atmosphere too dense for accelerators to be a good solution vs reusable boosters imo.

@Space_Station @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @NASA @esa @JAXA_en @astro_kimbrough @Astro_Megan @Thom_astro @Aki_Hoshide Still blows my mind that this is real

@Rainmaker1973 And that is a very tiny fraction of the ~4 megatons of mass that the sun converts to energy every second
