#202 Steve Kwast – How China is Mining the Moon and Weaponizing Space

And when you need to put in a new computer, you just slide out the old computer board, slide in a new one with those robotic mechanics that are servicing the satellites, and you can upgrade indefinitely in this beautiful sanctity of space.

So to get to your question about solar power from space, and again, I can put you in touch with people that have been working this for decades because it has been known that we could do this. The physics have been known. And now we're at a place where it's been demonstrated.

The X-37, the Air Force space plane that used to be secret, that's not secret anymore, it's been doing experiments showing what I'm going to describe right now. And what you do is that the intensity of that sun's power, you build a solar array that can absorb that sun's power, and then you translate it into a radio wave,

and then you beam that radio wave down to Earth, and it's received by what's called a rectenna, and then you turn it back into electricity, and you're done. I mean, it's that simple. But because it's a radio wave, it is not diminished by the weather, okay? Or the atmosphere, or the gravitational field, or any of the things that can sometimes prevent energy from getting to the Earth.

So solar, and this is the other piece of it, the demonstrations that we see are at efficiency levels that we are not used to right now. Any electricity that you're getting right now, whether it's created by wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, fossil fuel energy, wave energy, you name it, the technique for delivering the electricity that's powering these lights right now.

And you're lucky to get in the high 20s, low 30s of efficiency. Meaning by the time you create the energy at a power plant and you bring it across the power lines and you bring it into your house, the heat dissipation and the efficiency loss, you're barely getting to 20%, okay, or 30% at best. Solar panels, the same way. They're low efficiency, but you know, we make it work.

Solar panels are problematic too, and so is wind because it's not always windy. You know, President Trump talks about this all the time. And there's day and night and weather. So if you're up in Alaska, solar panels don't work when it's dark, you know, half the year. So the forms of energy we're going to see coming in are going to be – a tapestry of all of these things.

It's gonna be helium-3 when we start mining the asteroids in the moon for helium-3 that is such an efficient and effective clean energy way of producing a massive amount of energy for Earth. Hydrogen, even though hydrogen can be dangerous, There are ways of controlling it.
