Energy generation for spaceships
Consider a near-future situation where humans have begun to explore the solar system, most groups are still working to start a profitable mining operation and only a few ships have gone beyond Jupiter. There is a space station orbiting the Moon, and in a few more years there will be a permanent base on its surface.
Given:
-> A satellite constellation in orbit near Venus that is used to collect solar energy.
-> A Fusion Reactor on the Moon.
Both of them are equipped to send energy in the form of microwave lasers to ships and installations around the system.
What of those two would be the better energy generation system?
