    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.

    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…
