The National Space Society Blog has reported that Japan is to Spend $21 Billion on Space Solar Power. This news is significant because SSP is often cited as the catalysis for that habitation of space. Many point to SSP as the thing that will bring in the initial funding for a space faring society to develop. So, Japan might have just set in motion the initial investments in space habitation. This is something to keep your eyes on.
