What Has Humanity Built Around Mercury?

How might humanity power a civilization spread across the Solar System? Set in an imagined year 2325, this film follows vast solar collectors around Mercury and a power grid built to carry their energy to distant worlds.

Out of the Cradle EP02 explores the engineering behind that vision: gathering sunlight, moving energy across space, and supporting the industries and settlements that depend on it. A science-fiction film told in documentary form.
