The idea of orbiting solar power stations transmitting energy to Earth feels like a scene ripped from science fiction. But here we are, with people seriously exploring how to build it. Reusable rockets, advancing technology, and the constant push for renewable energy make it feel more possible. Still, weโ€™re left with more questions than answers.

– How do we make energy transmission efficient?
– How do we lower the cost to make it viable?
– What solutions havenโ€™t we thought of yet?
