Okay now imagine a future where we're able to beam power down from space, which is
.
I know it's probably not viable for a million reasons but how cool would it be if this tech truly is viable and the air force is able to develop it to a point where they can start offering it to the public, to support infrastructure, such as in-transit charging, or even just to support rural applications like farming? Would probably help with climate change at least.
The sun already beams power down from space.
Yes, but not quickly enough to meet our power needs for advanced machines like electric vehicles over the long run. That's why the air force is developing this satellite technology. Why shouldn't we all benefit from it, like we did with GPS?
That would be 1000 times harder than GPS, but I'd like to see it attempted. Lots of cool spin-offs from that like anti-projectile laser beams, but also things like blinding/death rays :P
Hold up, I saw this on Sim City 2000.
Didn't end well.
I played a lot of Sim City 2000 back in the days when you needed to install games using physical CD media, and I don't remember anything about this particular tech.
Having said that, this would have been back in the stone age so I may be misremembering 😁

Oh shiiit you're totally right, what a call back.
I want to smoke what you're smoking.
You clearly haven't heard of that sweet sweet Columbian moon dust, have you? Who do you think assassinated Kennedy? Did u think Trump meant "Mexicans" when he was talking about "illegal aliens"? Hell naw mate! He was talking about actual aliens! Those mfs are the reason why Joe Biden's corpse is still moving!
Tbf it is some pretty good shit
