FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NOOOOO
@sundogplanets I wonder if we can crowdfund launching 100 tons of sand into a counter-synchronous orbit.
@sundogplanets ...how hard would it be to shoot one of those down/away from earth with a kinetic rocket without Kessler-ising all of low orbit?
Because of this, I dreamed of being with a friend by moonlit trees and telling her about Reflect Orbital. Her response: WTF!
Can't we just stop doing shit!
@sundogplanets I've lived too long. Or somebody has, anyway.
@sundogplanets anyone care to explain what the benefit of having more sunlight on earth is supposed to be? Seriously i don't know. My first theory is #billionaires plan to create a #nuclear winter to a) get rid of most of the population while they survive in bunkers b) "solve" #globalwarming by creating a 100 year cloud cover. Or longer if required. The mirror satellite serve for the resorts in #Albania & #Gaza so they can play food gardening while tanning like when #America was great.
@sundogplanets @lisamelton This is some ass hat health influencer extolling the virtues of 24x7 sun exposure isn’t it?
Who the fuck actually wants this?!
@sundogplanets "Single test satellite"
So when it fails, they'll take it down and never try it again ?

@sundogplanets this is a great video breaking down why this is a bad idea to begin with https://youtu.be/0rF2oZPe_WI?si=YsSg0HaPGlkWyxEh
@sundogplanets They have completely lost their minds! WTF!
"But to expand the technology, Reflect Orbital envisions operating over 50,000 satellites by 2035, effectively surrounding the Earth with a fleet of mirrors."
