China to launch lunar lighting in outer space

Chengdu, a city in southwestern Sichuan province, is developing "illumination satellites" which will shine in tandem with the real moon, but are eight times brighter, according to China Daily.

By reflecting light from the sun, the satellites could replace street lamps in urban areas, saving an estimated 1.2 billion yuan (US$170 million) a year in electricity costs for Chengdu, if the man-made moons illuminate an area of 50 square kilometers.

China is not the first country to try beaming sunlight back to Earth. In the 1990s, Russian scientists reportedly used giant mirrors to reflect light from space in an experimental project called Znamya or Banner.

Sounds like a fools errand to me. China can't even make a shirt that won't pull apart at the seams when you put it on.

Fool's errand?

I was thinking more like totally fucking stoopid.

Not sure I see a real need for that.

Reflect sunlight? Haven't they heard of "atmosphere" over there?

No wonder they are so deeply in debt - way more in debt than the US.

Will have to send space kids with bb guns up to shoot out the stupid lights

Couple new neighbors down on our road moved in and put up exterior lights and flood lights all over their property cause they are cityidiots and scared of the dark and dont like enjoying the stars in the sky at night, assholes

Won't that add to our Glow-bull Warming situation...I mean reflecting sunlight back to Earth will cause the temperature to rise ... melting polar ice.... causing the sea level to rise......etc. We might all die.

I'm going to call Owl Ghore to see what I'm supposed to think about this.
