!! Five Alarm: This is real fucking bad !!
Reflect Orbital, a planned orbital illumination system, proposes to use in-space mirrors mounted on satellites to reflect sunlight down to Earth at night. They say they will provide “sunlight on demand” through satellite constellations designed to illuminate areas up to 5 kilometers wide at intensities between 0.8 and 2.3 lux—several times brighter than a full moon.
#ReflectOrbital has outlined plans for thousands of satellites and just got #FCC approval to launch.
Links in Prof. Lawler's thread explain the science and the insanity of this project. We cannot allow this manifestation of a Bond villain plan to happen.
