theredgui So, the FCC claims they have no jurisdiction to make decisions on anything outside of communications (radio equipment, spectrum usage, etc…) yet they just approved a project to launch a giant mirror into orbit. Unless they are going to use it to flash Morse code, it would seem this would fall outside their jurisdiction. Reply

Even a giant mirror satellite has to communicate with controllers on the ground, in order to reorient the death ray towards its next target, etc. Reply
QuarterSwede This is a TERRIBLE idea for the reasons stated in the article. Disrupting the natural circadian rhythm most living things have is not going to end well. Reply
Tori7991 Where's an over-reaching Federal Judge when we actually need one? I spent years becoming a geological engineer, and this is one of the most insane things I've ever heard of. Our planet is NOT software you can just throw a hot patch on to change something because you want to. There's a balance that we already do NOT respect at all, which is why Super El Nino is occuring. This idea isn't as bad as the idiots wanting to brighten clouds over the Pacific to stop the El Nino though… btw, that won't stop it. It'll delay it, and it'll be like plugging the pressure release valve on a pressure tank. Sure, it won't vent pressure, right now, but it'll continue building it… and building it… and building it, until it finally blows up and then you'll get to see what extreme weather actually looks like. These mirrors are in that group of bad ideas though. You ppl won't be happy until you get 10 million ppl killed in an hour around some city one day. Reply

SmokyBarnable Another group of ignorant, striving engineers who want to make big names for themselves and make lots of money, at the expense of the rest of us. I don’t trust anyone anymore who isn’t immersed in the liberal arts. Reply
