I was just wondering about the feasibility of using energy collected
at one location in space to power equipment in another location, via
the same kind of rectenna set-up proposed for getting energy to earth
from space. It increases the complexity of the overall system, but if
the rectenna has a lower mass to power ratio it might be worthwhile
for systems going to high-delta-vee locations.
