The company has also argued that reflected sunlight could provide temporary lighting without diesel generators or permanent ground infrastructure.
Sure it just requires that you build a giant precision mirror array, launch it into orbit, and then constantly monitor and position it from the ground, but god damn if you won’t need a bulky, polluting flashlight ever again.
What an absolute fucking joke of a proposal. Yeah, let’s blanket the earth in mirrors so that we can light up some random construction site temporarily.
heaven forbid you need to illuminate two completely different areas of earth simultaneously. is this is the least cost efficient solar powered device ever?
Well, it’s true that if you need to illuminate a site for two and a half minutes but can’t build anything on the ground, it’s a great solution. Is it the best solution? Maybe not. Is it a solution? You bet it is.

greatsolution. Is it the best solution? Maybe not. Is it a solution? You bet it is.We have portable energy sources. They’re pretty efficient. Especially comparable to an orbital launch.
