“first woman on Mars”
They have to be a lot more specific than that.
* Lesbo
* Not white
* High school drop-out
* Maybe tranny
This thread inspired me to watch Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) one more time
Go to the moon and/or asteroids. Mine and smelt all the metals needed to build the power plants there with 1/6 gravity on the moon and less on asteroids.
Launch the materials from there to small factories in orbit around the earth and construct the power plants in geosynchronous orbits.
These would be simple steam generators. If you understand how a steam generator works, half of the power comes from the steam, the other half from the suction of condensing the steam.
A power plant in orbit would have the ultimate heat on the sun side of the plant, and the ultimate cold on the shaded side.
You beam the power to earth with microwave energy to converter stations.
You wouldn't need a huge grid of power lines as receiver and converter stations could be located in local areas.
I expected, back in the 1970s that well before now this would be where our power came from.
China doesn't need to design anything. They'll just steal
the design of Starship from SpaceX, just like they do
for all their technology. Those Chinese "immigrants"
coming across the border aren't aren't here because
they want to experience "Our Democracy", as Democrats
so lovingly describe the USA.

Just a heads up, here.
There is zero hard evidence that this stuff is there in recoverable amounts. Or even at all. You will not know without someone writing a check to go there, have living quarters, go out daily looking, drilling, whatever.
In oil exploration it takes many exploration wells to find new oil, and that is done with air around you.
They’re going to send Stormy Daniels to Mars.
They need someone to.....ahem...”entertain” the male astronauts.
The moon is a harsh mistress .....
Did they say “gold rush?” They better not bring too much gold back to Earth. It will affect the Earth’s rotation.
/sarc.
With less gravity on the moon, you would really rock and roll. A rock band would be rockin'!
Do you actually believe they care one bit about improving humanity with more power? They are currently doing everything they can to kill off our species and will soon flip off the power switch to kill even more. All this will be is an excuse to syphon off money into personal pockets. Our Grandchildren need this like a hole in the head.
“Sure, change our only satellite’s mass.
Their psychoses clearly prevents them from seeing the gravity of the situation.”
Brilliant. And there is that too... It is just another “excuse” to steal tax dollars into personal pockets anyhow. They will never actually do it no matter how much money we throw at it.
It is a costly con job we do not need.
To anyone who believes this will ever happen there is a high speed rail line in California you can buy.
Oh wait...
It is just a con for dollars into personal pockets...

Depends on who the "they" are.
Most of our present politicians, UN, the globalists, enviro-wackos, etc., unfortunately are exactly as you describe and as evil as you describe.
A few business people in the "they" position with real vision are perhaps interested, because there is big bucks in selling electricity.
The Chinese and/or Russians may be interested, because you combine the ultimate power source with the ultimate weapon.
The electricity would be beamed down with microwaves to receivers with feedback circuits to shut them down if they drifted off course for safety.
If one wanted to wage war with another country, re-position your generation stations over them and roast them to a crisp with pinpoint accuracy.
Whoever owns and uses the high frontier makes the money, controls the power and controls the world.
Having reliable, environmentally clean power is a side effect.
“If one wanted to wage war with another country, re-position your generation stations over them and roast them to a crisp with pinpoint accuracy.”
Which is exactly why no one on earth needs it.
It is all talk, it will never happen. We will just throw money at a project that will never happen. Just like the Ca high speed rail project.
It is just another con job to take advantage of the ignorant.
No ice has been found so far by probes at the Lunar South Pole.
Why won’t it work?
Well for one thing there are no children on the moon to take advantage of cheap labor and we all know the Libs have no problem using child labor to fulfill their wet dream of clean energy……..
