Actually, better than that, I’m not an expert! There are professionals whose jobs are to design those systems and could do better than I putting together a solution. However, more destruction of finite resources when there is easy access to an unlimited resource should be limited to final resorts.
I think corps prefer using finite resources to make customers depend on buying them. Imagine being able to recharge your car by what you produce with your solar panels on your roof: you will spend money only on the car itself and not on the fuel.
Imagine claiming mining helium is the solution when free energy is right there radiating from the sun.
Imagine thinking there’s only one solution.
Starting an international corporate race to carve up the moon seems like a good choice.
That obviously being the only other choice, of course.
Maybe with automated gathering and launched via mass launcher directly into earths athmosphere, it could be somewhat cost-competitive
Straw-man and False dichotomy.
They literally made an either or declaration of their own…
No a better alternative was pointed out, that does not exclude that others may also exist.

How do you suggest producing a significant amount of thrust in a vacuum using the sun?
That’s not what this is about, the author doesn’t care about that, all they see is a finite, exploitable resource that will line their pockets.
However, to answer your question, we already have that technology.
Solar sails don’t produce a significant amount of thrust, you didn’t answer my question.
Try driving a solar powered car.
Dunno if helium can be used in cars tho.
Laughs in electric train
Car bad, train good
I fucking hate stroads
Nah, car good, train better. I also hate stroads.
Me on my way gettin on train to go to the far grocery store in my non-walkable city. /s
I understand why people likes trains, but it’s not the answer to every situation.
If the city is built ass backwards it would be a better investment to address that than start mining resources on the moon. Idk that’s just me though.
Yup, use the train to go medium to long distances, use a bicycle or feet to go short to medium distances.

Solar powered grid charges the car when not in use
