Space-based Abundance
Space-based services like GPS revolutionized our world. Are free, abundant energy, data, and health solutions from space next?

Caltech researchers are pioneering space-based solar power — harvesting constant, weather-independent solar energy in orbit and beaming it to Earth. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs are rapidly developing a wide range of other groundbreaking services and technologies from space.
