-Capturing Solar Energy that could be used on Earth?
This is an idea of pulling energy out of space and using on Earth is an idea to solve the world's future energy needs. A former NASA scientist, has created a project called " SPS-ALPHA" (Solar Power Satellite via Arbitrarily Large Phased Array). This idea would need to have thousands of intelligent computers working together in high orbit to capture and transmit the sun rays into energy and microwave beam that energy to Earth. This project could be ready by about 2030 if funding is there and everything else falls in place.
