1. I believe the Swedish govt funded a project 30 years ago to put mirrors in orbit to extend the day during the winter. A fifth of Sweden’s area is above the arctic circle.

2. Does this mean we’ll go bankrupt trying stupid things?

3. Wasn’t there a James Bond about this?

4. Just when you thought ‘Daylight Savings Time’ was controversial …

5. I look forward to giant magnifying glass in the sky roasting us with concentrated beams of light. We`re the ants now.

6. Had a gander at Reflect Orbital’s management team. Thanks GenZ.
   But it’s Boomers who are the problem. M’kay.
   Can we please stop pretending they don’t want to have a company named “Revenge of the Nerds Inc.”?

   So I’m thinking these brainiacs have to be getting some serious up front Jack to fund their lunacy so who shows up but venture capital firm “Lux Capital” and who’s on that management team? Ex CIA spook and director Jim Woolsey and former Pfizer CEO Jeff Kindler. Two people quite familiar mass death for fun and profit.
   How nice.

9. Having worked up north I know how this plays out: after two weeks I’ll clean up selling blackout curtains to the chronically sleep deprived.

10. “…deliver light on demand after sunset and before sunrise to paying customers on Earth…”

    So if my neighbour pays for light but I don’t, how do they manage that?
