It still gets dark in the summer you ignorant git. Your idiotic proposal would light up the night sky in a way that's completely unnatural. The environmental impact statement would be absolutely mind boggling... Which is exactly why you should be asking Bob for the risk assessment portion of his environmental impact statement for this project. Bob you are prepared to write one? Right? ;-) Dave |

Jeff I first read about Orbiting mirror concepts during the Vietnam War, IIRC Russia toyed with it too. Incidentally, "The annual red crab mass migration (around 100 million animals) to the sea to spawn has been called one of the wonders of the natural world[38] and takes place each year around November; after the start of the wet season and in synchronisation with the cycle of the moon."
