“...fly in formation and deploy giant reflective sails to send the Sun’s light to the Earth.”

At what level of intensity? Can the beam be narrowed? Can this be weaponized?

Those are the kinds of questions I have reading this. Could be too, I’ve read too many Sci-Fi short stories from the 50s to the 70s. :)

My first thought is some teen hacker taking over a board and posting porn. You know it’ll happen.

I remember a short story by Arthur C.Clarke called "Watch This Space", which featured a scientific experiment involving a Sodium cloud dispersed from the Moon becoming an advertising sign. Someone in the Russian space program may have read the story which is part of Clarke's Venture to the Moon series from 1956.
