You'll sometimes hear people complain about how there's just not enough light during the day to get all their work done.

A startup from California is looking to solve that problem.


A startup called Reflect Orbital is looking to launch a collection of satellites equipped with mirrors into space, that would reflect sunlight off of the sun that would point to wherever they wished.

They are currently accepting "Sunshine Applications" to whoever wishes to have sunlight at any time of day.  Or night.

Initially, applicants can only hope for about four minutes' worth of sun.

According to Vice, Reflect Orbital is looking to start their initial test run in late 2025.
