The reality is that the Ascent Solar light weight solar panels for outer space have the potential to launch ASTI share price into outer space along with their flexible Solar PV Panels.
Excerpt: ....Yet one obstacle has seemed insurmountable: the cost to get up to 10,000 tons of components all the way to geosynchronous orbit. Rockets today are not reusable, and that makes them so expensive — currently around $4,600 for each kilogram of payload lofted into low orbits — that the economics of putting solar modules in space just don’t pencil out, even if the modules use solar-electric propulsion to lift themselves into their final orbit. For stellar power to compete with other kinds of renewable energy, those costs need to drop to around $400 a kilogram, Mankins estimates. Rocket launches would have to become a lot more frequent as well. Building a large plant would require hundreds of launches a year....
