(jeez... 🙄🤦🤦♂🤦♀with what BS are they coming up again just to press for more profits and divert attention from efficient climate action. Just drop everything and STOP fossil fuels NOW!)

"The Dying of the Light"

🌎 We have to revise our understanding of the operation and purpose of markets and the raising of capital from the public.
🤔 When capital is raised from the public to start-up projects that can harm the public, we must question the efficacy of such 'market operation'.
💯 Our privacy and safety depend on it. -
@sundogplanets
Far be it from me to advocate for the destruction of property, but if something were to happen to mess up this mad mirror-in-space project before it can assault the planet, I wouldn't shed any tears.
We really need international laws with real teeth to put an end to this use of the planet and its life forms as involuntary lab rats by the morbidly rich.

@jensorensen How many laser pointers targeting a #SpaceMirror would it take to disrupt its necessarily precise aim, if not alter its orbit? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail

A #SpaceMirror Will Test Turning Night Into Day. What To Know About the Controversial Project
by Jeffrey Kluger, Jul 14, 2026
Excerpt: "The company envisions multiple uses for sun-reflecting satellites: assisting search and rescue operations, allowing construction projects to operate around the clock, charging solar power stations, increasing crop yield. But critics cite all manner of risks. Human and animal #CircadianRhythms could be badly affected if the sun—or a simulacrum of it—never sets. The practice of changing the clocks by a mere hour twice a year is already known to mess with human sleep-wake cycles, after all. Plants could bloom when they shouldn’t and die before their time. Orbital mirrors flashing and winking back to Earth could distract airline pilots. Finally, #LightPollution is already interfering with astronomical observations—a problem made even worse by satellite constellations like #SpaceX’s 10,000-strong #Starlink fleet. #ReflectOrbital’s 50,000 birds would dwarf even that."
