Solar power stations are a great idea. They've always been a great idea, ever since that Isaac Asimov story came out. (Great job on the sourcing, btw.) And for those of us that love rockets and space travel, solar power stations provide an economical reason to have lots of people and infrastructure in space. It's win/win for everybody. The problem is that huge learning and experience curve we have to get over first, because solar power stations would be the most ambitious thing humanity has ever done in space. It would be a massive engineering project. I hope the Japanese have great success in their program, because they're putting in the hard work doing something that could benefit us all.
