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
