Default A practical use for space

it would save lives, make livuing easier, save energy, and who knows more hours
of daylight might help depression thats so common in the winter.

Anyone ever think about putting some solar reflectors in orbit to increase the
number of hours of daylight in the winter?

The discussions about daylight savings time got me thinking about this.....

That was suggested years ago. A practical way to keep a war zone "light"
Popular Science" about 1966-69.

A lot of people -- including me -- would love to have more
hours of sun during the winter.

I think one concern might be the possible affects on the
migration instincts of some animals, as I think they are tied
in some cases to the number of daylight hours. As days get
shorter, animals realize it's time to head south for the winter,
and vice versa.

Better to keep the war zone dark so the enemy can't see and use night
vision to see them
