• 1941: Isaac Asimov published the science fiction short story "Reason," in which a space station transmits energy collected from the sun to various planets using microwave beams. "Reason" was published in the "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine.• 1968: Peter Glaser introduces the concept of a "solar power satellite" system with square miles of solar collectors in high geosynchronous orbit for collection and conversion of sun''s energy into a microwave beam to transmit usable energy to large rec
