    Not exactly a new idea. Soviets tried it. Expenses were huge, and something that nobody thought of much back then is that nature would surely found itself hanging upside down…

    I’d like to have darkness during daytime. I’m not sure I would pay for it, but I’d like it very much.

        Can we also pay to have people cast into utter darkness?

        Just like, informationally speaking, my friend was asking.

      Okay, luddite. All of the studies resoundingly show that pointing a giant space mirror down toward our collective homes is a great idea.

    This gives me a great idea for a new startup! I’m going to put a giant mirror in space, and you’ll need to pay me to turn OFF the sunlight at night.
