An aerospace startup just got approval to test beaming sunlight to Earth. Here's why experts are worried—and petitioning
A California-based aerospace startup aims to beam sunlight from space to Earth using a fleet of satellites carrying mirrors.
Despite hundreds of public comments opposing a giant space mirror that would shine light roughly five kilometres wide, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has given it the green light.
Robert Massey of the Royal Astronomical Society said it would be "absolutely the destruction of a central part of human heritage".
