gollark: I say we should spend half our resources on making an asteroid mining probe, probably replace the quantum computer we put our fork on (or make a few more, for research), and look at starting on a solar power swarm.

gollark: Random headcanon: the SXS Musk's AI is actually uploaded Elon Musk.

gollark: The gas dwarf? Why? Solar panels work better closer in, and we're on... Bradbury, right?

gollark: I'm sure the other probe AIs could be interested in collaborating on large-scale power generation.

gollark: If we generate power via said solar arrays, and beam it with lasers, we can also conveniently make that giant laser array Earth wanted.
