Nuclear vs. Solar ?
If my struggle here with bushfire solution is not enough ,
my next task is to convince Elon's SpaceX , Roscosmos and Chinese counterpart to my solar LP disk.

At this point in time our best hope for near Earth and interplanetary transport is with nuclear power.
This is next step above chemical propulsion rockets.

But what I propose is huge LP vinyl disk like in space, covered by ultra thin solar cells.
Instead of complicated and expensive nuclear machinery that require another 20 years to mature my idea is simple.

Huge diameter disk , spinning for structural strength and stabilisation, made of graphene and covered with ultra thin , highest efficiency solar cells.
What is important in space - energy/ power to mass ratio.
Unlike nuclear 150 w/kg our spinning disk will have energy density measured in kw per kg with almost no additional electronics and complication required.
Solar cells arranged in series in vacuum space environment will supply very high voltage required to power ion engines without the need for complicated DC-DC converters.
Now I could seat and wait which company government will do first step in right direction.
My personal space craft is powered by antimatter but for humans here and now that presented solar should boost space conquer instantly.
