== Discussion ==
=== Keith's plans ===
* Keith: To develop long-term space projects, find profitable ventures at multiple steps from startup to finished product
** Server Sky
*** Tracking very small space junk with small Server Sky-style arrays
*** Space-based solar
** Launch Loop
*** People who need sudden bursts of power, which the utility won't provide
*** Load-leveling ex. thermal power plants
*** Eventually load-leveling the Pacific Rim
**** Pipeline would be about 16 times the mass of the Alaska pipeline but store much more energy
=== Ideas for SolSeed's potential space company ===
* We'll find people, Keith will find people, and some of those we find will be more suited to Keith's projects and vice versa
** Domains will be close but non-overlapping
* Cube-sats
** Naval Academy is running a program with cube-sats to give their students training with satellite management
*** AmSat (amateur radio cube-sat group) gets to use them for their radio stuff
*** 2/3 of space in each cube-sat can be bought to fill with whatever you want
