It wont allow me to place any more signs, so i'll put more info here: The receivers on Earth will be carefully positioned to have the most efficient and cost effective setup, and the microwave beaming system will be carefully aimed.

The moon doesn't have an atmosphere.

My question is why place it on the moon? Wouldn't it be less costly just to have to place it in Earth's atmosphere, which would make it easier and less costly to access and set up, and still recieve more direct sunlight because it doesn't have to go throught he moon's atmosphere?

you're so epic as a save creator ;) a vote up!

DO you know you need a 10 square kilometer dish to on earth to recieve the signal beam efeciantly? How will earth look with al those arrays on its surface?

Ikr, people need to learn their facts

I'm surprised no one has realised this; The "dark side" of the moon is a myth. There is a side that never faces the EARTH, but all sides are lighted equally.

Disadventages: Not the whole Earth can be reached at once; The beam might "zap" clods, planes, birds, ect.; It would cost lots of money to construct; It would take years to get the equipment and some people up there; Because the moon has no atmosphere, these photocollectors would be endangered by asteriods.

AgeStar, and that would'nt be too good :S

Interesting idea, although strong microwave radiation may heat up planet and cause bad health effects.
