Space Policy
Space Mirrors approved by FCC.
The environmental and health effects of doing this WERE NOT CONSIDERED by the FCC when they made their decision.

#Spacemirrors? Well … is that how Fossilheads will try to let us pay for sunlight?
Gawd i am so f*ckin annoyed by those techfascists. -

@mjibrown.bsky.socialIt's good to see another article highlighting criticism of Reflect Orbital but I wish there was more on "can it even work?"
I had hoped "it cannot work" would cut through some of the noise.

@rami.spaceaustralia.comUS FCC: “let’s do a consultation on how the community feels about this”
Community: “we hate it, don’t do it, it’s real bad, this will impact a lot of people — astronomers, biodiversity, Indigenous communities, more” x 1800 responses
FCC: “lol, we don’t care. APPROVED.”

There really is no idea too stupid for private equity out there...as long as there is a white dude pitching it they will throw money at it hand over fist.
This is the WORST idea...ever. Giant #SpaceMirrors redirecting sunlight and disrupting your sleep. #DarkSkies

Reflect Orbital's Constellation of 50K Satellite Mirrors Could Create Artificial Daylight From Orbit
A new proposed satellite constellation could turn the night sky into permanent twilight – or even daylight – should a “visionary” startup’s plans come to fruition. Never mind that the Soviets tried it in the 90s before deciding it was a terrible idea, as should be obvious to most people without having to give it too much thought. Still, if it allowed the US to put an end to daylight savings time changes, I might be onboard with it.
Just kidding, here’s the petition against it that you should sign

"Europe should ban space mirrors, cloud whitening and other untested tools being touted to reflect the sun’s rays, the European Commission’s scientific advisers have said, but said the door should be left open for research into their development.
The scientists said the risks and benefits of solar radiation modification (SRM) – also known as solar geoengineering – were “highly uncertain”. They called for an EU-wide moratorium on using it as a way to offset global heating.
SRM technologies can cool the planet by reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth. Supporters say they should be studied as global temperatures shoot ever closer to the limit of 1.5C (2.7F) above preindustrial levels that world leaders promised to stick to.
Critics argue that geoengineering does not address the root problem of heat-trapping pollutants that smother the Earth – making them at best a temporary fix while they are in use – and say they could also wreak havoc on the weather."
