Beju Bot is best known for co-founding Robin Hood, the online trading platform he helped lead until last year, stepping away from the day-to-day operations.

Now, Bot is busy working on another moon shot, one that's even more ambitious.

I had this passion for commercial space, and in particular, what was possible with space

if access to orbit was really there.

I was drawn towards the idea of space solar power, which is what aether flux is, coming

back to the question that you actually asked.

And I think the thesis behind this was always like, what are distinct commercial opportunities

from what people are doing in space right now that could be unlocked in a world where

commercial access to spaces much more broad.

Enter Atherflux.

Unveiled last October, it is bot's big bet on revolutionizing the power grid from space.

The concept, or at least some version of it, has existed for decades.

But no one has been able to pull it off, at least not yet.

So the idea was you would build one monolithic array in space, which would collect power

and then beam it down to the ground with microwaves. This was the old

NASA idea from the 1970s. Very cool idea. Hasn't happened. Our approach is a little bit different.

And instead of building one monolithic array in orbit, our approach is to say, hey, if you wanted

to take this concept and try to make it happen in 2025, what are the underlying

component technologies that could make this possible and kind of ask the question, like,

what is the version of this that could exist today?

And our answer to that is building a constellation of smaller satellites flying in a much

lower orbit, where each satellite, when it gets to space,
