  • The only two metrics that matter here are W/m^2 and weight.

    You can’t make a reasonable microwave receiver lighter than solar film and efficiency peaks around 50% in FIXED installations and you can easily assume less than a quarter (under 10%) when the target isn’t just moving, but is also changing angles and distance (you’d have to put the receiver on a gimbal like for cameras) and now it’s also interfering with flight (propeller airflow, unless you do weird propeller geometries or tilted body flight

    Tldr DUMB

    Microwave power transfer only make sense between distant fixed line of sight locations with minimal infrastructure available. On earth that’s literally just island mountain tops. Even then it’s easier and cheaper to still just install solar

    On the moon, it would basically just mean you have one big generator and everything gets powered by the sun when in sunlight and switch to microwave from the generator when in shadow, which is pretty much the only configuration that even make sense










  • Did you warn anybody a win for Trump would make things worse? Did you do anything at all but just complain? Were you one of the people who said Trump couldn’t make it worse?

    Because it sounds like you’re coping and projecting it, because maybe you could’ve had a president that wouldn’t have attacked Iran and that could’ve been reasoned with, and maybe even Trump’s convictions would’ve sent him to jail, but no, ideological purity was so much more important

    You can see with your own eyes the parties are objectively not the same, as one of them supports Israel in killing innocent people in Iran while Israel expands their genocide to Lebanon too, but you absolutely refuse to acknowledge anything has changed






  • You’re happy that the genocidal afrikaaner Musk got to kill hundreds of thousands, you’re happy Netanyahu expanded into Lebanon, you’re happy Trump got to give Netanyahu a fake ceasefire under which killings continue, you’re happy innocent Iranians are dying, all so you can claim you’re a good person for opposing Biden.

    It’s easier to pretend you’re not responsible for assisting genocide than acknowledge it.

    Trump’s win made everything worse and you’re happy that it is worse.
