Desert Living Tip #25: UofA Space Sunshade
It's already hot in Arizona, but a few more degrees might be fatal. Global warming is a problem in need of a solution. So researchers at the University of Arizona, have dreamed up the $2.5 Trillion Dollar Space Sunshade.
What costs $2.5 trillion? A constellation made of trillions of small, free-flying spacecraft parts, a million miles above Earth. How do we get all these moving parts up there? 20 electromagnetic launchers running on hydroelectricity, launching a stack of flyers every five minutes for ten years.
Crazy.
