Full disclosure: My first grown-up job was working for Peter Glaser
on SPS-related work. His sweet secretary facilitated that job after
we spoke a coupla times on the phone. I think I wrote some of the
content of one or two of those referenced reports. If anyone had any
vision these days for truly remarkable challenges rather than being
mired down in issues about whose feeeeeeeelings are being hurt, we
would be building components for these on the moon and launching to
LEO where they would be assembled robotically. No nuclear waste to
deal with, all the power you could want.
