+1 for space

so apparently some genius in japan found a new way to make silicon for solar panels that involves dropping molten silicon from a height of about 14 meters. while in free fall the silicon's surface tension causes tiny balls of silicon to form. this means that the solar panel can absorb light from any direction and lots of other cool things that make this noteworthy.

HOWEVER i have a better idea. let's move the facility into space. there's no gravity there so things like this can be made pretty easily and not as randomly as dropping molten silicon 14 meters through the air. i'm sure lots of other weird physics would happen in space that would make manufacturing that much better. who knows what science will come up with. while we're at it, lets use these solar plants and appropriated factory to make giant solar panels in space. we'll use them all to power my space hotel/spa resort.

do you have any idea the types of things a space hotel/spa resort is gonna be able to offer? how about 3-d ping pong for one. for another how about a space pool. this is about the same as a lame old earth pool except for the fact that it's in space and instead of on the ground and instead of being water in a cement hole in the ground it's a large amount of water randomly floating around a room. think about that for a second, a large amount of water floating in a room. that means when you splash the water doesn't come back down, it combines with other water in the air and makes a small mini pool in the air above you. buoyancy might not work the same but you'd be able to still swim through it the same. the possibilities are endless.

so call your congressman and tell him you want a freakin space pool.
