What a great anecdote. Makes me think of Tesla’s (the person not the company) vision of wireless power distribution through the air. Can’t we just put a big tesla coil in orbit and beam that down to power today’s “telegraph”

This is not a new idea, and we can do much better than powering a distributed network.
