You probably know about it, but I thought I'd throw it into the mix.
tl, dr = the Air Force was planning on detonating an atom bomb on the moon because shit like that made sense in the Cold War.
The Space Shuttle Challenger has entered the chat.
Not sure anyone would sign off on sending potential dirty bombs into space.
A few years back people were floating the idea of sending up orbital solar farms that would collect power and beam it to the surface.
imho "deep isolation" isn't a solution, it's kicking the can down the road.
Improving the power grid would increase the available supply without causing problems.
Remember back in 2016 when Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate? Bernie said sure and Trump had to walk it back.
The last thing Trump and his people wants it to have to have him stand up in an uncontrolled setting.
I'll be amazed if these debates happen.
Used to work as a moving man. We'd complain about architects all the time.
If you haven't seen it, "The Three Body Problem" is a good series with a lot of wild ideas.
They use the hydrogen bomb spaceship idea.
