[ExI] The amazing Star Raker project that never was....

[John Grigg]

If only this had been achieved by the United States, or as a joint project
with other nations!  But how much would it have actually cost?  And was the
technology mature enough back then to actually do it?

"Each Star-Raker was projected to carry a payload of 100 tons, and a fleet
of Star-Rakers would work day-in, day-out to shuttle into orbit the
materials and tools and astronauts required to assemble these massive
(solar energy gathering) satellites."
