A new proposed satellite constellation could turn the night sky into permanent twilight – or even daylight – should a “visionary” startup’s plans come to fruition.

Still, if it allowed the US to put an end to daylight savings time changes, I might be onboard with it.

To save folks reading the long winded intro:
Reflect Orbital is a start-up company proposing a constellation of up to 50,000 satellites by 2035, to provide a sunlight-on-demand service to consumers. This would involve reflecting beams of sunlight with a diameter of about 5 kilometers onto Earth’s surface to provide lighting or solar energy to the customers.
