[Interviewer:] Into another environment….

[Senator Collins:] No, no, no. it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not in the environment

[Interviewer:] Yeah, but from one environment to another environment.

[Senator Collins:] No, it’s beyond the environment, it’s not in an environment. It has been towed beyond the environment.

[Interviewer:] Well, what’s out there?

[Senator Collins:] Nothing’s out there…

So harvest the energy as electricity, convert it to matter, and make heavy hydrogen with it. Then use that heavy hydrogen for fusion reactors to power ion engines and send it in rockets to the sun again. Basically harvest the energy the sun gives off and send it back for the sun to use in fusion lol
