Field notes
Users can move a pin on a globe and submit a prompt; the page says Gemini writes the replies. It pairs that interaction with a 24-page engineering paper, available in dark and print-oriented white editions, and traces the project from the author's discovery of Starcloud's paper to an initial hand sketch. Route distance and timing, along with cooling-water comparisons, are modeled, with assumptions labeled alongside results.
