    Yes, but the infrared radiators for a single megawatt are apx the size of 4 tennis courts. Until there's a space elevator, that's a tremendous amount of resources to get into orbit.

    Yea, because the only resources in the entire universe are only on our planet. There's absolutely none out there where there's little to no gravity well to fight against right?

    Sure, but we're not doing anything to mine or manufacture in space.
