Ali Hajimiri: ‘We’ve Made Significant Amount of Progress’ on Space-Based Solar Power that Could Save the World

EXCERPT:

HAJIMIRI: “Well, it is definitely something worth trying and we’ve been working hard and we made significant amount of progress so far. The — again, we have gone from this being completely science fiction to the point that we have actually structures that we operate in space and work. It is not to say that there are no additional steps and challenges left, because we are talking about the very large structure in space that has never been built before, but the technological advances that have been made makes it possible to see a pathway there. Now, there was no such pathway, in my opinion, 10 or 15 years ago.”
