  What if… hear me out… we pipe straight up into space, and then use a 90° bend to angle the remaining pipe to the sun. Shouldn’t Be too difficult, but I bet those plumbers would charge an expensive ass trip fee.

    Then we have to wait until the purple PVC glue goes on sale

    Nope, because you can’t use PVC for piping steam. You’re going to need to use metal pipe. Iron pipe is the cheapest bet but it’s such a pain to work with. Personally I’d run copper. I think that’s to code for low pressure steam anyways.

    Wait, if it’s going into space then whos building codes are we using?

      pump ammonia! Can evaporate at PVC compatible temperature.

      A very minor problem with this scheme is the mile thickness insulation needed to not lose much of the sun’s heat to space, on the trip back. A 2nd minor problem is the actual pipe section close to the sun.
