You all hear about the artificial moon plans yet? Apparently if the first one works then plan on putting up three more, and.. Heck.. Who knows.. Maybe before long we're going to have a ton of these things up in the sky?
Kinda creepy, but kind of cool also if it were used responsibly for certain situations like disaster relief.
However.. If they use it full time for street lamps like they suggest.. I dunno.. I think that might come with some problems.. Especially in regards to the natural cycles of the wildlife in that area. I guess we'll see how it works, it does sound really interesting and futuristic.
And ya know.. Maybe our actual moon is artificial as well, there's some really weird stuff going on with that thing and a lot of scientists and people in general are puzzled by many aspects of it. Not to mention a lot of other weird artificial looking stuff going on with other planets and things in space. Really makes one wonder how some of this stuff was formed.
"If the launch of this moon is successful, three more could follow in 2022, Wu told China Daily. Wu estimated the city of Chengdu could save around $174 million (1.2 billion yuan) in electricity ever year if the artificial moon illuminated 31 square miles of the city. Artificial moonlight could also serve other purposes, he suggested, like illuminating disaster zones during blackouts."
