Apart from the huge potential of the project, even though there seems to be a lot of moving parts to it, I just like the idea that these guys are inventing new technologies that may also be used in some other application at some point..
Materials that enable molten tin to be pumped.
Solar cells that can handle these temperatures.
The more we try, the more great things we invent.
There's been plenty of inventions that were either mistakes or accidental. Or, inventions for one purpose that have been adapted to other uses.
