Citation needed. I'd especially like to see the calculation against the launch costs and the expected lifetimes of solar cells.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoReally? We need to cite the worldwide phenomenon of drastically reducing lift costs? Astronomical growth in cheap thin solar panels? Rising real estate prices? No. No I'm not going to dignify this with a 'citation'.
