A recent study by the Pentagon concluded that a solar energy array in space was close to being technologically possible. And robotic technology should soon make the building of large structures in space safer, cheaper and quicker.
The Near Future?
Leopold Summerer of the European Space Agency believes the generation of solar power from space may be only 20 years away.
But he adds that the cost of the undertaking will mean it will have to be another international effort along the lines of the Space Station.
For Lt Col Damphousse, despite the technical and economic difficulties, the advantages to mankind are clear.
"It opens up all the other things that we are trying to do in space; our exploration strategy, our planetary defence, commercialism in space, space tourism.
"If we're able to do this as an international effort this helps to relieve some of those pressures on resource shortages, overpopulation. This is something that's in the interest of the entire planet.
"Once we open up the medium, there's a whole new world waiting for us out there."
Quite literally!....
