Has anything been ever built by robots in space?
voice-verified
No.
voice-verified
They've assisted and they do certain things, but we've never had anything built by robots as structures, especially kilometers long, right?
voice-verified
I know.
voice-verified
I'm just saying if you've got an urgent task that needs to be accomplished, I wouldn't be relying on robots in space building things that are kilometers long, 13 kilometers by 6.5 kilometers.
voice-verified
That's the receiving station.
voice-verified
Would we need 15 of those?
voice-verified
Maybe.
voice-verified
Maybe they could double up.
voice-verified
I don't know.
voice-verified
And 15 of them would give us 30 percent, just 30 percent of coverage and all by the mid-2040s.
voice-verified
And the real icing on the cake for me was with the quote when they compared it to a nuclear power station built by humans on the ground.
voice-verified
And it made me think that why not just build a lot of nuclear power stations?
voice-verified
That's got to be a lot easier and a lot quicker than doing this.
voice-verified
But then I calmed down a little bit and I looked at their net zero innovation portfolio itself.
voice-verified
And in that context –
voice-verified
It sounds more reasonable as a component, right?
voice-verified
Because their portfolio has lots of interesting things.
voice-verified
Future, like offshore wind, nuclear advanced modular reactors.
voice-verified
I think modular reactors are a fantastic idea.
