Solar panels on Earth have several downsides, providing less energy in cloudy weather and none at night. Space is the perfect place for solar power, and scientists have been working on plans for space-based power generation for decades. The problem is that launching satellites's always too expensive compared to just building more panels on the ground. A new NASA report suggests that space-based power might finally be operational sometime in the 2050s.
