An industrial foundation is being built for the next generation of the human species

Everything in the future will be built on top of this

In the same way current civilization cannot function without electricity and the internet

The implications of an AI-focused all-hands are often underestimated:
If orbital solar-powered compute is deployed at the projected rates, the buildup could look like this:
year 1: 100 GW, roughly 1% of Earth's total energy capacity

year 2: 300 GW cumulative, 3% of Earth
year 3: 700 GW, 8%
year 4: 1.5 TW, 17%
year 5: 3.1 TW, a third of Earth's entire grid
year 10: 39 TW, 4x every power plant on the planet combined

between year 15 and year 20 mass driver operational, launching AI satellites from the Moon one after another
year 20: 16,000 TW, 1,778x Earth
year 30: 16,000,000 TW, 1.8 million x Earth

This is the conversion of the solar system into a compute substrate: the rockets, the satellites, the lunar factories, the mass driver, and the AI running across it all as part of a civilization-scale effort
