PALO ALTO, CA — A groundbreaking new venture, Reflect Orbital, announced today its plans to launch thousands of orbital mirrors designed to bounce sunlight back to Earth, primarily to ensure that no one ever again has to complain about not having enough daylight to fold their clothes.
“For too long, humanity has been shackled by the arbitrary tyranny of the solar cycle,” stated CEO Chad 'Sunbeam' Harrison from his custom-built, perpetually sunlit office. “Our research indicates that the number one reason people don’t achieve their full potential is the abrupt, inconvenient cessation of natural light. We’re not just extending the day; we’re extending the national to-do list.”
Critics have raised concerns about potential ecological disruptions, light pollution, and the sheer hubris of attempting to manually adjust planetary illumination. However, Reflect Orbital’s lead astrophysicist, Dr. Aurora Bright, dismissed these worries. “We’ve run the simulations. The worst-case scenario is a slight increase in nocturnal vitamin D production, which, frankly, sounds like a win to us. Plus, think of the Instagram opportunities for late-night brunch.”
Funding for the multi-billion dollar project reportedly came from a consortium of venture capitalists and a national chain of dry cleaners eager to capitalize on the extended hours of optimal stain removal. The company is also reportedly exploring a premium 'Golden Hour' subscription service for influencers.
