Europe already has the Vega C. And they already don't have enough launches. They are doing a micro launcher because everybody is.
Those kind of long distance DC power-lines would be blow the earth I would assume.
- hef19898 4y agoEurope =|= France, there is no united Europe when it comes to defense. And yes, those powerlines have to be underground because above ground is not feasible for political and public opinion reasons. And they are orders of magnitude more expensive. Connecting power grids is no trivial task, the powerlines are actually among easier things.
- panick21_ 4y agoEuropean space is fully integrated. France doesn't have its own launcher. Arianespace operates Vega C and Ariane 5. These rockets launches from french soil. And also, micro launchers have very little military value. > And they are orders of magnitude more expensive. Not compared to space based solar. > Connecting power grids is no trivial task Europes power system is already very highly integrated.
