Reflect Orbital aims to launch 50,000 mirror-like satellites to provide sunlight at night, with reflected beams spanning at least 5 km on Earth's surface. This image illustrates how scattered sunlight would increase the overall brightness of the sky above the VLT, even if the mirrors aren’t aiming directly at the observatory. 3/4 📷 ESO/O. Hainaut

@esoastronomy@mastodon.social Stupidest idea ever. He hasn't completed his "self-driving car", or robots, and he's making up new scams. Also, dissipating heat in space is a huge problem. This is just another total scam out of these con artists. And I use the term "artist" loosely here.

@esoastronomy@mastodon.social if you want to stop or diminish this, instead of complaining, you need a plan to deliver the benefits without the harm IMO
