Reflect Orbital's app-based service deploys orbital mirrors to beam sunlight to user-specified Earth locations in under 30 seconds, targeting nighttime solar energy extension and construction lighting at ~$1,000/hour.

The possibilities are endless...

I’d love to invent a Time Machine and go back and tell folks that in the future people used a plastic card to buy both water and sunlight. I don’t think their minds would be able to process it.

Ireland has gotten one day of sunshine as of St. Patrick's day this year. But Guinness fixes everything anyway.

They’d better be really good with their fine print, because based on the average IQ of people online, they’re gonna have a lot of pissed off people on overcast days.
