Man Suang Vogue photo shoot

The warm tones of the top four pictures are very reminiscent of gold washed daguerreotypes.

The blurring due to movement was very common with early forms of photography as you had to sit completely still and often for an uncomfortably long time.

Khem's golden outfit - I love it!! 💛

(I think that's obvious from the amount of times I post about it 😅)

The textures, the colours, the blend of traditional Thai dance style with western additions like the buttons.

It's even more of a unique take on the traditional Khon dance attire than Khem's wonderful red Inao costume while still feeling absolutely authentic and very fitting for the ethereal beauty of Phra Law.

The change from a traditional sangwan body chain to a gem linked chain that fastens his cloak. 👌

It's all so gorgeous - respect and kisses to the costume designer. 🙌

I also love the colour choices for Chatra's outfit too, they look great on him and blend very nicely with Khem's.

There are complimentary purple tones in both their costumes and I enjoy that a lot.

Okay, just got to the end of Netflix Ronja.

It's so gorgeous and I'm full of joy. The camera panning over breathtaking landscapes in between every scene, to the point of it being the third main character 🙌

Score : delivers!

Liking the wardrobe choices intensely. First of all: medievalish fiction in madder red and birchleaf yellow and oak bark and walnut brown instead of heaps of black leather ? Fabulous. I don't really mind that it's three centuries at once in the town (torn on the Feminist Armour™, but on the other hand I would absolutely wear that armour so I can't really blame them) because I'm just happy that colour is back on the menu.

Also here for additional Mattis content. 😁 That people somehow object to being relieved of their coin is a mystery with that motivational they're getting 😁😁😁 Love him!

Accents that aren't from Stockholm is another win for the home team 🙌

I tolerate the town plot, which is the weaker part of the show, and a bit of a waste of Pernilla August so far.

The creatures are decent. Though I'm concerned that unless someone dies on screen, did they actually die?

Naked manbutt snowbath is in season.

All I'm asking for is that you sing just one song in the second half of the series, pretty please.

#ronja rövardotter #ronja the robber's daughter #Netflix #Oh I'm so here for part 2 #I'm feeling zero negativity but I only knew they'd made a show two days before I watched

Voiceplay Visuals: A Chance To Fly (Wicked Medley)

You'd be hard pressed to find a Voiceplay arrangement that took more time to create/finish than this one. This was Geoff's creation (he arranged it, came up with the video concept, co-directed it, and collaborated on lighting design), and he apparently worked on this for years. I don't know how long exactly, but I'm fairly certain he vaguely alluded to it in a live Q&A he did on his channel in 2020, when someone asked if Voiceplay was planning to do any Broadway stuff. And based on comments I've read on reaction videos, I believe he's worked on it since sometime in 2019 or so?

But anyway, as spectacular an arrangement as it is, I'm not here to talk about it! I'm here to talk about the video which accompanies it, which was released on the 26th of November, 2021, and features the awesome Emoni Wilkins (in the role of Galinda), and the wonderful Rachel Potter (in the role of Elphaba) (and yes, this is another rare six-vocalist video for Voiceplay, though this time it's 4 members + 2 guests, rather than 5 members + 1 guest). One of the comments says that this is apparently Rachel's 10th collaboration with Voiceplay, though I can only count 7 previous ones (or 8 if you count Just Sing (she was in that too right?)). But regardless, what a veteran!

Anyway, the medley itself clocks in at about 7 and a half minutes, so enough backstory - there's a lot to get through!

Group shot! Love the giant clock backdrop, very cool (and very accurate/appropriate of course)

(Note that I've never seen Wicked, not even a bootleg, but I've listened to the soundtrack a few times on the odd occasion, and I know how the story goes)

(Also this video really highlights the height difference between Layne and Eli, the tallest and shortest of the group, respectively. Apparently Eli isn't actually even that short - he's like 5"5/165cm (which is about how tall I am) - it's just that everyone else in the group is taller than him, whether by a little (like Cesar), or a lot (like Layne, who's 6"1/~183cm)

I adore Emoni and Rachel's makeup looks in this one. Shoutout to Rick Underwood for doing amazing things yet again!

(Also that's a super gorgeous necklace that Rachel is wearing and I want it)

Super massive shoutout and kudos to Geoff and Eli for the lighting on this one! This is top-tier stuff! And so much variety throughout the video in terms of colours and light levels!

Cute earrings, and also face jewels! (Those things can be an absolute pain in the backside, both in terms of applying and then getting them to stay there! I'm assuming Rick used some special skin-safe "glue" product to make them stay in place, and/or some setting spray afterwards?)

Get it, Rachel! 🙌👌

Geoff is handsome as ever, of course

Firstly, go off, Eli! And second of all, Rachel looks so freaking enamoured by Eli during this part, which obviously would be because he's filling the role of Fiyero, the love interest of Elphaba (whom she's acting/singing as here), but also it's just a little bit amusing too 😁

"Think of it as personality dialysis!"

Cesar being adorable 💜

Layne popped a bubble! (With matching "sound effect" of course) (Also I only just realised earlier while watching this that Layne is wearing a tie, just that it's mostly hidden/tucked in)

"And with an assist from me, to be who you'll be, instead of dreary who you were- well, are"

Nothing but respect for my Wonderful Wizard! (He did nothing wrong 😁😝)

I love him your honour

(Gonna do a Geoff Hair Study for this one too, but won't include it in this post, because frankly this post is long enough ^^;)

(Also just realised that Geoff is also wearing a tie that is mostly hidden, and wait hang on a minute, that means that his shirt is actually fully-buttoned-up? Gasp!)

I know I'm going quite heavy on screencaps (and we're only halfway through the video, heck), but I had to share these blink-and-you-miss-it shots of Cesar and Rachel 😄

Cesar: "KILL THE WITCH!"

Geoff (noted bass singer and sometimes sea witch): Uh oh 😬

(Joke stolen from a YouTube comment, but it was too good not to include)

"Because I knew you," (🥺🥺🥺)

The urge to take a million screencaps of the Defying Gravity section at the end is strong. It's so good on all levels!

The quality as an individual screencap is not the best, but still, I'm calling it another "Voiceplay money shot", and such a cool way to end the video!

As I am typing this, the trailer for the Wicked movie (or part 1 at least) has been out for a few days, but I'm yet to even watch it, and I probably won't see the movie, because honestly I don't see how they could make any of the musical numbers better than this. And this was just a medley! And acapella! Re the movie, I'm a little uncertain on how to feel about Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and I'm definitely skeptical about Ariana Grande as Galinda. Rachel and Emoni killed it though, as did all of the guys of course! Well done Geoff, this was definitely worth the hard work and the long wait!

ETSY REVIEW: Purple Guy Inspired Choker (by N2Operationshop on Etsy.com) THANK YOU SM, to the jewelry maker on Etsy, N2Operationshop, please go check them out if you need custom character or fandom or LGBT+ jewelry!! They handmaie tons, from chokers to bracelets & more! I am reviewing the William Afton-inspired, handmade, faux leather, metal, & acrylic, purple & gold choker I am now wearing!! This is one of my favourite things I have ever owned if not my favourite, I am in love. 💖💜💖💜💖🥰 The seller shipped it soooo fast, within days! It has to be made, so I'm pretty sure they started making it like as soon as I ordered which is just awesome. 😆 Dope ass merchant. And it is just so comfy on my neck, soft quality material, bends with you & built so well, better than any choker--or faux leather product, period--that I've bought before. It also looks gorgeous on, perfect fit! It accents your features beautifully. It has stunning, bright colours that pop! It also looks fantastic layered with other necklaces/chokers, e.g., I layered it with a yellow choker I got from Cash 4 Chaos, and that worked well, adding nice detail. If you wanted, you could hang charms/keychains on the silver O ring, I'm sure! So customisation is possible if you want to edit it your own way! Overall, I'm in LOVE, and I'm going to live in this. Never taking it off EVER. May shower in it. Can't make promises. 👁️ 1000 stars / 5. 🙌 Thank you so much to the seller for the fast shipping & wonderful choker! I am so ecstatic! Now what outfits...!!! I will be playing dress-up daily until I find outfits that match best 😆 Also I'm wearing my Ita bag golden star chain thing as a bracelet instead of a keychain for my Ita bag, it matches the choker! 🔪⚠️🐇⭐💜⚛️💜⭐🐇⚠️🔪 #springtrap #williamafton #purpleguy #thepurpleguy #davemiller #burntrap #glitchtrap #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #villain #villaincosplay #closetcosplay #closetcosplayer #fnafcosplay #fnafcosplayer #fivenightsatfreddyscosplay #fivenightsatfreddyscosplayer #springtrapcosplay #springtrapcosplayer #williamaftoncosplay #williamaftoncosplayer #purpleguycosplay #choker #chokernecklace #etsy #etsyreview #review #selfportrait #selfportraitphoto (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce7A2QQPWXE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hola! Your art on the banner for HD WIRELESS fest blog is GORGEOUS!! I have been mesmerized by it since the day I saw it! The lights, the crowd, the boys, the colors! And their bands! It's stunning!!! 🙌

Thank you so much @abstractundefined !! 🙈🙈😭😭❤❤ You're so sweet to say it. I'm blushing!

The banner art I created for @hd-wireless fest 2020 is actually a reworking of my 2019 Wireless entry. I changed the background and colouring, adjusted their outfits and gave them wristbands. So not as much effort as creating the original, but it was fun to do nevertheless 🥰

Thank you for your lovely ask. We'll soon need to decide on a new banner for 2021. Perhaps an artist out there would like to create one for the fest... (hopeful eyes🙏) If not I’ll maybe knock something up 😁 🎨🖌

Oh my god, how do you make your gifs? They're gorgeous and such high quality 😍🙌🙌 you're so talented

photoshop, messing around with its various adjustment settings (saturation, brightness, contrast, colour balance, etc) until they look how i want them to look (very much a matter of personal preference here), and using this smart sharpen preset to make my gifs look as clean and crisp as possible:

pretty much the same way most gif makers who use photoshop create their gifs.

#replies #anon #my gifs rly aren't anything special #u should be directing ur compliments to neillblomkamp instead #bc she captures frames directly from her blu ray collection for her gifs #meaning they're at their highest quality; pure and uncompressed #most ppl like me just use downloaded shows/films which have obv been compressed #anyway if u want a more detailed tutorial bc i'm far too lazy to do one myself #just look up 'gif tutorial' in tumblr search

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

"The way I describe it to industry partners is, 'look we're the good guys and the values that we represent and the system we represent is the one that will allow and has allowed you to thrive,'" he said. Dunford's comments come in the wake of the tech giants' decision not to pursue some of the Pentagon's lucrative contracts while considering projects in China. In October, Google said it would no longer compete for the Pentagon's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, cloud computing contract, an award that could be worth $10 billion. Google said that the contract may conflict with its corporate values. In addition, the company also said it would not renew a Pentagon contract that analyzed aerial drone imagery for the military. Meanwhile, it was revealed last year that the tech giant was studying the idea of working with the Chinese government on "Project Dragonfly," a censored search engine that would block certain sites and search terms. More recently, after pushback from politicians and activists, Google said it had dropped those plans.

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, also speaking before the Senate committee, echoed concerns that China has gamed American innovation. "$5 trillion of their [China's] economy is state-owned enterprises. So the technology that has developed in the civil world transfers to the military world, it's a direct pipeline. Not only is there a transfer, there is systemic theft of U.S. technology that facilitates even faster development of emerging technology," he said. "The talent is in this country, we need to use the talent in this country and the talent in this country needs to support our great power competition," Shanahan added. The criticism comes as the U.S. trade battle with China marches on, with intellectual property theft proving to be a major sticking point between the world's two largest economies. U.S. officials have long complained that intellectual property theft has cost the economy billions of dollars in revenue, thousands of jobs and threatens national security. "If China successfully captures these emerging industries of the future, America will have no economic future and its national security will be severely compromised," White House trade advisor Peter Navarro said in June. For the Pentagon, there is no better example of Navarro's comments than the most expensive U.S. weapons system: the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II fighter jet at a ceremony on Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II fighter jet at a ceremony on On Oct. 26, 2001, the Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth more than $200 billion to build the next-generation stealth strike fighter. As America's next fighter jet came to life, some of its sensitive design and electronics data were believed to be compromised in 2009. Chinese hackers were believed to be behind the cyberintrusion since its stealth Shenyang J-31 jet bears a remarkably striking resemblance to the F-35. And before the J-31 mimicked the F-35, there was the curious case of the J-20 and the F-22. In another instance of alleged industrial espionage, the prototypes of China's Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter jet looked suspiciously similar to the sleek design of Lockheed's F-22 Raptor. While the U.S.-made Lockheed Martin jets are believed to have better computer software, more sophisticated sensors and sensitive stealth coating, the theft of intellectual property gives adversaries the opportunity to avoid the expense and delays involved with research and development. Last March, President Donald Trump signed an executive memorandum that penalized China for trade practices such as industrial espionage. The measures impose retaliatory tariffs on about $60 billion in Chinese imports. On hand for the signing was Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson, who oversees the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Hewson said intellectual property is the "lifeblood" of the defense industry and welcomed the action taken by the Trump administration. "This is a very important moment for our country, in that we are addressing a critical area for the aerospace and defense industry and that is protecting our intellectual property," she said. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he was in no hurry to come to a trade deal with China and gave no indication of when he would meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "I'm in no rush. I want the deal to be right ... I am not in a rush whatsoever. It's got to be the right deal. It's got to be a good deal for us and if it's not, we're not going to make that deal," Trump told reporters at the White House. Trump decided in February that he would not increase tariffs on Chinese goods at the beginning of March.

China plans a solar power play in space that NASA abandoned decades ago Eric Rosenbaum Donovan Russo Published 8 Hours Ago CNBC.com Science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov is credited with bringing the idea of space-based solar power projects to prominence in 1941. Space stations and satellites already use solar panel arrays for their power needs, but NASA abandoned the concept of stand-alone space solar after some study decades ago. The idea of building renewable-energy projects in space to beam the sun's energy back to Earth is controversial but could fundamentally reshape the way every person and business on the planet receive electricity. A solar panel array attached to the International Space Station. NASA | Getty Images News | Getty Images A solar panel array attached to the International Space Station. John Mankins has spent his professional life working on novel ideas that could transform the way humans use technology in space, solar power among them. But Mankins' interplanetary musings went beyond the way solar is already used to power satellites and the International Space Station. During a 25-year career at NASA and CalTech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he devised multiple concepts to extend the use of solar in space, among them a solar-powered interplanetary transport vehicle and a space-based power system. It's that second idea, in particular, that had Mankins' attention while holding top research positions at NASA during the 1990s and 2000s, including overseeing the $800 million Exploration Systems Research and Technology group. Mankins — who now runs his own private aerospace firm, Artemis Innovation Management Solutions — had the task of figuring out whether there was a way to deliver electricity to the planet by beaming it from space. It's an idea that could fundamentally reshape the idea of the utility business — and give control over it, on a global scale, to whichever world power gets there first. "If you can dramatically lower the cost of space solar, you can take over most of the energy market of the world," said Mark Hopkins, a member of the National Space Society board of directors and former RAND Corp. executive. Mankins got close to seeing the idea make it into reality, with support from the Bush White House and Congress in the 2000s, and positive reviews from the National Academy of Sciences and a national security unit within the Department of Defense. But the program never took flight, for a variety of reasons. So when the news recently broke that the idea — abandoned decades ago by NASA — was coming back to life with a big push from government, it was cause for excitement. But it isn't NASA finally backing the idea. It's the Chinese government. The space race heats up China's ambitions in space rival that of the United States. Its two main objectives were originally human spaceflight (accomplished in 2003) and a permanent Chinese space station, which is coming closer to reality — it announced in early March that a manned space station similar to ISS is now on schedule for 2022, earlier than expected. As the two geopolitical foes increasingly turn their attention to a technological and military race beyond the earth's atmosphere, space-based solar power projects are an overlooked, often criticized idea. But with China recently announcing that within the next decade it expects to finish the high voltage power transmission and wireless energy tests that would be needed for a space-based solar power system, the concept is likely to get renewed attention. All of the plans in the space race have potential implications for a new military build-out in space of increasing relevance to the world's powers. The Trump administration formalized plans in February for a branch of U.S. military known as the Space Force. The solar power station plans being contemplated by China include the launch of small- to medium-sized solar power projects in the stratosphere to generate electricity between 2021 and 2025, followed by a space-based solar power station that can generate at least a megawatt of electricity in 2030, and a commercial-scale solar power plant in space by 2050. "This is not posturing; this is a real plan from serious organizations with revered scientists in China. They have a perfectly good technical plan, and they can do it by 2030." -John Mankins, president of space systems and technology firm Artemis Innovation Management Solutions "The dramatically stated interest on the part of the Chinese will do a lot to engender interest," Mankins said. "Around a decade ago the Chinese started working seriously on this, and about five years ago they started coming to international meetings. Before that, they were in the dark. Now they are coming out of the shadows and talking much more openly about this." He added, "There is absolutely progress from the Chinese at this point. This is not posturing; this is a real plan from serious organizations with revered scientists in China. They have a perfectly good technical plan, and they can do it by 2030," Mankins said, describing a small-scale solar power project producing megawatts of electricity, but not a commercial-scale project able to produce gigawatts needed to compete with utilities. A space-based solar power station would capture the sun's energy that never makes it to the planet and use laser beams to send the energy back to Earth to meet energy demand needs. China said in a recent announcement about the project that a big advantage of space-based solar power is its ability to offer energy supply on a constant basis and with greater intensity than terrestrial solar farms. One of the issues with renewable-energy projects like solar and wind power plants are their intermittency — that refers to the fact that the sun isn't shining and the wind is not blowing 24-hours a day, limiting the periods of time during which these projects can be a source of power generation. Mark Hopkins, National Space Society A slide from a presentation Chinese scientists made in South Korea showing an early design idea for a solar power project in space that could beam energy back to the Earth. Space-based solar would not only offer a solution to intermittency, but also delivery. Today, utility power generation is regional, if not local, but electricity generated in space and near the equator could be beamed almost anywhere across the globe, except for the poles. "You could beam electricity from Canada to the Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America from a satellite at equator," Mankins said. Roughly one billion people live in the Americas. Hopkins said the current Chinese view is, "We want to be major dominant power in space solar power by 2050. This has the potential to really turn the geopolitics in our favor if we are a leader, so let's look at it seriously." Meanwhile, the U.S. says, "Are you kidding? Let's worry about something else." New life for a 'losing proposition' The idea of collecting solar power in space was popularized by science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1941 in a short story that envisioned space stations that could transport energy from the sun to other planets with microwave beams. In 1968, Asimov's vision was brought closer to reality when an American aerospace engineer named Peter Glaser wrote the first formal proposal for a solar-based system in space. After experimenting in the 1970s with transporting solar power, Glaser was able to land a contract with NASA to fund research. However, the project suffered with changes in federal administrations and it was not until 1999 that NASA's solar power exploratory research and technology program jumped back in to study the issue. In the end "NASA didn't want to do it," Mankins said. But a lot has changed, especially relating to the cost equation and rapid advances in technologies like robotics. A NASA spokeswoman said it is not currently studying space-based solar power for use on Earth. It is exploring several advanced power and energy technologies to enable long-duration human exploration of the Moon and Mars, such as its Kilopower project, a small, lightweight nuclear fission system that could power future outposts on the Moon to support astronauts, rovers and surface operations. Next year, this project is expected to transition from ground-based testing to an in-space demonstration mission. Historically, the cost of rocket launches and the weight that would be required for a project of this scale, made the idea of space-based solar unfeasible. There are scientists who still hold that view today. "The energy, mass and cost budgets involved show that this is a losing proposition, not just now but perhaps for centuries to come," said Olivier L de Weck, a professor of Aeronautics, Astronautics and Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "The energy we need to put in to launch the mass required for the SBSP [spaced-based solar power] station is so enormous that we may never recoup it." SPS-ALPHA concept & image provided by John C. Mankins A concept designed by aerospace engineer John Mankins for a space-based solar project dubbed SPS-ALPHA. Mankins worked for NASA before returning to the private sector and created several space-based solar concepts at the space agency, from a 'Solar Clipper' interplanetary transport vehicle to the 'SunTower' space solar power system. Mankins said this view is becoming quickly outdated due to a dramatic lowering of rocket launch costs through efforts funded by billionaires including Tesla founder Elon Musk's SpaceX and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin. Meanwhile, developments in robotics and modular-manufacturing — being able to produce many small modular pieces to make a whole rather than one huge piece of equipment — could lead to cost-effective ways to construct these projects in orbit without having to build a multi-billion-dollar factory in space. He referenced a major review conducted by the federal government in 1981 that when looked at in today's dollars would have cost up to $1 trillion to deliver the first kilowatt/hour of solar from space. "The whole program was killed in the U.S.," he said. Now the studies conducted on feasibility are decades old and simply no longer relevant to the discussion, Mankins said. "Whenever a gray-haired senior scientist tells you something can be done, they are almost certainly right. When they tell you it can't be done, he or she may very well be wrong." "We have had a revolution in robotics, drones and warehouse robots that didn't exist. Previously, the whole thing had to be built as one huge system, an enormous thing like a aircraft carrier shipyard in space to fabricate one enormous object weighing 10,000 tonnes rather than 10 million small units each weighing a few pounds that can use mass production," he said. "We no longer need a stupendously huge factory in space and hundreds of astronauts to put it together. The whole world, other than the space program, has moved forward to mass-produced modular network devices. That's the way you would do it, and it was unthinkable 40 years ago, but suddenly it is physically, technically and economically doable." American scientists are tinkering with the idea to this day. A group at the California Institute of Technology claims to have created a prototype that is able to capture and transmit solar energy from space, using light weight tiles, work sponsored by a $17.5 million research agreement with Northrop Grumman. Weight has always been a key issue to resolve because of the cost of rocket launches being based on weight of cargo. Thin film solar panels are lightweight, which reduces launch cost. Though as launch costs come down it may be less of a make-or-break issue. Thin film may also have a structural advantage in space — the lighter weight is no issue in the zero-gravity environment. Other nations are exploring the concept. In India and in Europe scientists are working on additional concepts for solar based power in space. Japan's JAXA, an aerospace exploration agency, has been researching how to overcome technological barriers, such as microwave wireless power transmission tech and robotic assembly tech. The U.S. military has begun exploring the idea The most important U.S. effort underway today is arguably the one being conducted by the U.S. military, which received $178 million in its current fiscal year to explore space-based solar power. For the military, space-based solar could solve big issues with delivering power to posts in remote locations, such as in Afghanistan, where getting fuel to a base means driving a truck loaded with flammable gasoline through hostile territory. Solar power beamed from space would also offer bases a new method of powering their operations, recharging the huge battery packs that soldiers carry today because they have so many electronic devices, and could lead to a ramp up in use more electric vehicles. "Anything the military does will push the technology, and CalTech is pushing hard too with the thin film cells, and that work is going well," Hopkins said. A Department of Defense spokesman said the DoD routinely conducts research to explore concepts such as space-based solar power, but it did not have details to provide at this time. One of the concerns that has dogged the concept is the idea that these projects are really clandestine efforts to develop a space-based laser cannon. Mankins said those fears are based in real physics, but not supported by the reality of military equipment monitoring by the world's powers. High frequency lasers could be concentrated to serve as a weapon, but any equipment with that purpose would be obvious in its construction, and that is construction that is easily monitored from the earth. "If you look at armored vehicles with machine guns versus a Ford F150 pickup, the difference would be discernible from the ground, even if there are some similarities," Mankins said. "You would see something that looked like a Hubble telescope." Risks of solar in space Hughes said that going into space and intercepting sunlight that would have otherwise gone past the earth can heat up the temperature within our atmosphere, though he added that this effect depend on the size of the solar collector in space. "If the plan is to capture solar energy in space, that means the total amount of solar energy going into earth goes up, that increases the earth's temperature," Hughes said. "Now of course that depends on how much energy is being brought in. It only becomes a problem when the area of the solar connectors in space becomes comparable to the size of earth." Mankins said there are significant risks for the planet that need to be considered, including an increase in temperature and unintended consequences for various forms of life. "There is a reason birds like to sit on utility wires." But it is no different that worries about UV rays, and the concerns are "not known showstoppers." He said the length of microwaves being contemplated for these projects do not pose a significant health risk. He also studied the global warming argument in detail and said it is a fact that beaming power from space to the earth will have an impact on surface temperatures. But when you look at how efficient the delivery of solar from space could be versus the addition of more coal-powered, natural gas-fired or diesel power generation, the resulting greenhouse gas emissions are still much lower. "One thing the Chinese are really good at is thinking long-term, unlike U.S. thinking, out 50 years about this stuff. They have no problem thinking like that." -Mark Hopkins, National Space Society board of directors Michael Byers, a professor in the department of political science at University British Columbia Vancouver says the biggest problem for this concept may be a matter of time. Space-based systems might well be possible several decades from now, but Earth-based systems are already catching up to fossil fuels in terms of cost and efficiency. "You can put solar panels just about anywhere. Rooftops are the most obvious location, and in some jurisdictions all new buildings must have solar arrays. Lots of small projects are better than a few big ones, since they provide greater resilience to equipment failures and weather events," Byers said. Hopkins said price competition from Earth-based utility generation is a real issue, but not an insurmountable one. As prices fall for solar technology on the ground, they fall for solar that would be used in space as well. And space-based solar — because it can beam electricity anywhere in the world — can take advantage of the big price differential in the utility market. A space-based solar system can target places like Japan or Hawaii, where electricity prices can be four to five times prices in the mainland U.S. and then can move to lower-cost electricity markets later once the solar project has paid for itself. "That's the military thinking. The money you are sending to remote military bases can pay for the technology later. There is a return on investment in the future that doesn't require sending the electricity to Los Angeles today." But the detractors remains convinced it is an idea that will remain in the world of Asimov's stories. "The concept of space solar power is and will remain in the realm of science fiction for a long time, maybe forever. Even if China or any other nation decides to build an SBSP demonstrator, it does not mean that it is a good idea and that it makes economic sense to do so," L de Weck said. National Space Society director Hopkins said that kind of thinking — coupled with the U.S. government's inability to think long-term in its planning — may be the biggest risk of all. He said that current views in the U.S. on the topic tend to fall into one of two camps. "People in the U.S. tend to look at it as, 'At least the Chinese are doing it, and if the Chinese are doing it, then we are likely to do it at some point because we don't want them to lead.' Others are saying, 'If they get this right and we don't, we are in big trouble.'" Hopkins added, "One thing the Chinese are really good at is thinking long-term, unlike U.S. thinking, out 50 years about this stuff. They have no problem thinking like that. When I talk to NASA about anything more than 10 years out, they sort of look up in the air and roll their eyes, and I'm not invited back."
