Can humans just stop messing with nature? 🙄

A company called Reflect Orbital just got permission to launch satellites with huge mirrors to provide sunlight on demand 24/7 anywhere in the world.

Concerns range from disturbing the biological clock of humans and wildlife, to crashes with other satellites, and permanent changes to sun hours in some areas if the company loses control of a satellite.

But what are the chances of that, right? After all, their aim is to only launch 50,000 of these devices in an already crowded orbital ring around earth.

Also, does anyone want to bet that naturally occurring sunlight will at some point be marked as unfair competition for sunlight on demand and people will be charged for that as well?

oh how about the companies that want to send nano particles into the atmosphere to block the uv rays to cut down on global warning - I can just see a new ice age

@HootyTheNightOwl that's one of the arguments in favor indeed. Of course, as it's an American company, the USA will restrict access for military uses to itself and its allies though, which is only Israel at this point.
