We have, it's called solar energy.

Planets not so much. Except lebensraum on crying Mars maybe.

Still not efficient enough. We need a Dyson sphere.

Dyson sphere around our sun? That's not very smart lol

And how would you connect to our star

Post by: Leshma on October 01, 2015, 01:52:08 am: Problem with gas giants, pressure is too damn high. Our equipment can't go very far.

Post by: Oberyn on October 01, 2015, 02:43:32 am: Once you started rhapsodizing about how primitive and retarded our method of solar energy extraction is I figured we're talking sci-fi level technology anyways. We might manage to finally crack gravity someday, who knows. If we do fuel probably won't be a big worry as far as interplanetary travel is concerned, so granted may still be a dumb idea.

Post by: Vibe on October 01, 2015, 08:48:17 am: Well actually Leshma wasn't that far off with his statement, it's just that we're not connecting to the source, but more like replicating it (http://news.mit.edu/2015/small-modular-efficient-fusion-plant-0810). It's not quite there yet, but it's not sci-fi either.
