Comment Re:No they don't (Score 1) 226

The analysis seems to miss an important point about the difference of space- zero gravity. I am in the southwest and there are several solar installations in our area and the panels are mounted on some pretty elaborate framework. I wouldn't be surprised if the support structures rival the cost of the actual panels.

In space you could use extremely thin panels with little or no support.

Comment No laws needed! (Score 1) 129

There are already laws that handle this.
If one robot harms another robot the owner of the damaged robot will sue for damages. People will want to buy robots that aren't a liability so engineers will work safety features into the system. Insurers will not want to insure dangerous robot so robots with good safety records will cost less to insure.

Amazing how this stuff works!
