["These calculations showed that it is possible to launch a Moon if the georeactor generated about 0.5 x 10^30 joules.
That is gigantic," he says. By way of example, a one gigawatt nuclear reactor generates just 1017 joules a year, so you'd need the annual energy production of 1013 of these reactors to get the same amount. ]
Does something seem wrong with these numbers? Maybe they missed a couple of superscripts.
