“While we're currently based on Earth, we're optimizing our technology for the future. It's like the saying, "Shoot for Mars, aim for the Moon." We believe that manufacturing technology of the future must be highly cost-effective and offer a high degree of flexibility to produce multiple products. A single space factory can't be limited to creating just one item; it needs to be capable of manufacturing a wide range of goods. That's the mindset we're adopting as we develop our technology.”

"Is space-based solar power a costly, risky pipe dream? Or is it a viable way to combat climate change? Although beaming solar power from space to Earth could ultimately involve transmitting gigawatts, the process could be made surprisingly safe and cost-effective, according to experts from Space Solar, the European Space Agency, and the University of Glasgow.

But we’re going to need to move well beyond demonstration hardware and solve a number of engineering challenges if we want to develop that potential." (Wired)
