Okay I've watched enough gundam to know you straight up didn't. For example you're saying microwave power shouldn't work with minovksy lower but the man with the theory who went to zeon and got working fusion reactors was born halfway into universal century and by that point the federation had decades at minimum where their energy came from microwaves from solar satellites. This highlights what gundam says about earth dying and the colonies becoming more and more self sufficient. Their #1 power source for the whole planet that they relied on before universal century existed is easily jammed by the most common minovsky anti-radar system that everyone and everyone's mother uses and the most common space nuclear fusion reactors you would find in everyone's mobile suit. And the hellium-3 necessary is extremely difficult to naturally find on earth therefore unless they want to rely on a system easily disrupted by any prankster with a ship, they're forced to rely on space for their energy. Gundam by sci-fi standards gives millions of different reasons for why earth is overmined, environmentally wrecked, and not even energy independent anymore. It's been pointed out several times that the material for the colonies, whatever design used, came from space. The colonies got their start from earth and now with the ball rolling, they need less earth as time goes on. >>23447397 is right about systems with difficult starts but smoother continued motion once it begins. It's like inertia. You're just endlessly repeating nonsense from several angles including gundam angle. I'm not wasting my time with your other blatant bad assumptions and crap about labor. You've already done badly in in your horribly oversimplified analogy you're still repeating like it isn't garbage.
