If you look at that total power rating, you're looking at 50 to 100 gigawatts, which would be by far the largest electrical generation station on Earth.

But it would actually be similar to some of the larger oil refineries that we have today.

So I think that's sort of the limit because if you build much larger power stations than that, you're vulnerable to attack and that sort of thing.

You don't want to have all that technology centralized.

So it's more of like a, how big is that station compared to all of your other stations and compared to all the other generation?

Again, you don't want too much centralization because that makes you vulnerable.

So I think that we will get into thousands that puts us into the same class as like the largest oil refineries in the world in terms of continuous energy output.

But if we have 15 different sites that are in the thousands, then maybe you go even higher.

There's really not a fundamental limit there.

It's really just how much demand for power is there.

Not yet.

Not yet.

What do you want to do there?

But I believe that, so first of all, space and nuclear go well together for a couple of reasons.

One is solar panels, if you're at the level of planet Earth, work great because you have a lot of sunlight and you don't have any shadow and you can get a lot of power.

As you move away from Earth, move away from the sun, solar irradiance becomes weaker and weaker, right?

So if you want to push a vessel out to the edges of the solar system or out to some of the further planets, you need nuclear.

You have to have nuclear.

The sun's not going to power you that far.

So nuclear for in-space transit is very interesting.
