The night is not for sale...

Another article about reflecting sunlight on to earth at night…  Dark Sky International has a petition that they want people to sign to help keep this from happening.

If one of these gets approved it will probably be only one as it will cause mass chaos to driving, flying, spying, sleeping here on Earth to start with which should get it de funded and stuck in orbit.

The trick will then be to live on the Earth where it's beam is not.

Moving 3 bed / 2 bath houses twice in four years, I got this.

Thanks for the reminder, just signed. Environmental causes are typically sidelined in the progress of technology and VC ambitions, but at least if it forces them to consider the impact on the source of the innate curiosity that led to all of this technology, that’s worth it.

Just wanted to write that IDA are a 501(c)(3) and are on Benevity and other corporate-matched giving platforms, so if you want to do some last minute giving today they might be a good candidate.
