That is the underlying argument: Project Suncatcher is not trying to escape AI’s physical constraints. It is trying to move them somewhere where some take a different form. Less pressure on Earth’s power grid, perhaps. Less local water consumption, possibly. But more mass to launch, more orbital complexity, and a heavy reliance on cheap, frequent rockets. Google acknowledges that reliance. Its economic calculations assume that the cost of sending payloads into low Earth orbit would have to fall dramatically over the next decade. And that is a business bet, not a law of physics.
