That doesn’t really make sense either. Not only does that light up the battlefield for both sides of the conflict, so there’s no advantage, but also most conflict is drones anyway and they operate just as well in both light and dark.
In the article it talks about how the main application would be to keep solar working at night, but I guess “keeps people working around the clock” generates more clicks thus the title
Instead of putting a solar panel in space, they’re going to put a mirror in space to reflect the sunlight to a solar panel on earth? That doesn’t pass the reasonable test.
How tf is this more efficient than putting up electric lights?
This isn’t for workers
This is for military shit most likely
Like the world’s biggest, brightest flare

I think this startup might be a bad idea.
Right, I’m betting they probably think they can kajigger it into an Archimedes death ray or something at some point
I think they’d need a constellation of a lot of satellites for that, but yeah, I guess that’s possible.
Unless there’s clouds.
“Lights” can’t pump my startups evaluation and make me rich when I dump the stock.

There’s no way this is more efficient than pumped water storage or grid batteries or the other solutions we have for that.
Yeah but tech startups in the US are just hype bubble grift anyway. It just has to sound theoretically possible.

there’s maybe some really specific remote locations with steep mountains where it comes out in the logistics, but a better bet is that this is a scam
