Man-made meteor shower…

[RT65CB-SWL]

Just read on Apple News app via SkyNews that a Japanese space start up company are planning to re-launch their man-made meteor shower… https://apple.news/AwwU6k4TfQLezqp99J9-Frw and will be visible from most parts of the world.

Just when you thought 'Starlink' [and others] was bad enough.

Well the company exists, as does the CEO.

However, web page aspirations and projects that fly are often very different.

Why not!

Just imagine living the "lifestyle of the rich"!

Kneeling on a beautiful deserted beach before the woman of your dreams, proposing, while overhead the Japanese meteorshower you ordered lights up the night sky! 

"My darling, I promise to give you the moon and shooting stars!"

Isn't there enough junk up there already, but at least what is up there is for a purpose, but adding more just for entertainment.  Honestly!!!

Well, the article says that they plan to use them to collect data from the mesosphere, so they would be doing something useful, at least.
