Do we not remember when futurama tried this and accidently lasered a convention?

On a more serious note, how is it fair if say a neighbouring business orders this service and now what, your whole neighbourhood just doesn't get night time anymore? The local climate just gets a few degrees hotter, no biggie?

This has to be a crash grab. Like it’s absurd, not only can I not think why you would want this service I wonder how the logistics of moving it to a location and pissing off people that don’t want it to be daylight.

we have enough shit floating around in orbit, let alone adding a fucking mirror.

Didn't the Soviets try this back in the 90s? I remember it was a failure and you would need so many satellites. Already have enough problems with Emerald Mine boy as it is.

Literally the plot of a James Bond villain. The best news is that this shit will never work and it will only serve to evaporate the wealth of some overly-moneyed idiots.

Fucking stupid. Shoot these idiots into the sun if they love it so much.

I hope that when this happens, ASAT-missiles are common enough that I'll be able to get one.

Extra juice for the solar panels

Exactly who I imagined was running this startup, a pilled-up tech bro 😒

Someone should set up giant flood lights outside the CEOs house pointing into his windows

I remember Russians talking about space billboards at some point.

Glad that never came off the ground.

Imagine a gigantic glowing billboard and passing over at night.
