Elon Musk's endorsement of ARK's insights highlights the potential for "backwards cost scaling" in space-based infrastructure, specifically for orbital power generation. ARK suggests the 100th orbital GW could be 1/3rd the cost of the first, implying significant efficiency gains and long-term cost reductions for companies like SpaceX or other space infrastructure developers. This trend could make space-based power generation increasingly attractive and profitable over time.
