Space debris target.

So, they want to play God, eh!!?? :-(

Maggie Simpson will sort them out.

I won’t lie, the idea of sunlight on demand sounds interesting… but then capitalism ruins it before the environmentalists even had a chance. (not trying to downplay environmental science here, just being cheeky)

Worth trillions, don't you think? Not the end product - just the design and endless alpha model.

Shit... you think the F-35 was a complete boondoggle(*1), you ain't seen shit. Space is BIG. Price tags $,,$,,$,,$,,$

So what's next, solar roadways?

007 did it.

I'm trying to remember the name of the film.
