Mirrors in space

[Abhii00]

A startup 'reflect orbital' is planning to launch 57 small satellites with mirrors to reflect sunlight back to Earth. The company claims that this technology could provide an extra 30 minutes of sunlight to solar power plants.

Not sure how practical it is

That's concerning if it works ie. most experts say it's impossible. Even if it works the light is there for just 30 extra minutes, I don't think that would make a difference
