I first learned about the idea from SimCity 2000[0]. Not saying it was the impetus here, but I wonder what amount of the continuing interest in orbital power is due to SC2k. (I suspect my experience is not unique here on HN, but I wonder about the "general" public.)

- LarryMullins 4y agoSeems plausible, for millennials at least. SimCity 2000 was one of those games that seemed to be in every public school computer lab in the late 90s and early 00s. Tons of people played it, more than just the usual audience for management/business sims.
