In 1999, Russia unveiled a plan to use a mirror to reflect the sun to the ground during the winter. And even the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes is said to have defended the city of Syracuse with giant sun mirrors, with which he is said to have burned the Roman fleet. Fast forward to present day air Force Research lab is busy developing a technology called Space Solar Power, Incremental. Demonstrations and Research project. Or Spider for short. What is it?

The challenge will be with water more than with the sun. Either there is excess of water or scarcity of water which might lead to the next conflict globally and it is a far bigger and deeper problem and what people would realize, and somewhere there isn't enough being done to address that, but that's for a separate day. Very interesting topic. Thank you so much for sharing
