We are small and moving fast with an important solution.Sharing a bit more about Reflect Orbital today. @4TristanS and I are developing a constellation of revolutionary satellites to sell sunlight to thousands of solar farms after dark. We think sunlight is the new oil and space is ready to support energy infrastructure. This

- Replying to @sundarpichai and @elonmuskCan I interest you both in some orbital reflectors?
