Launching an artificial object into space that can reflect light visible to the naked eye on the ground has always been a fascinating topic.
China's first satellite, "Dongfang Hong I", was specifically designed with an expandable sphere on its rear for this purpose, allowing its reflection to be found with the naked eye on clear nights.
In the early 19th century, a France People imagined launching a mirror into space that could reflect light down onto the Champs-Élysées.
This whimsical idea was considered a curiosity in his own country, but the Union and America were intrigued, only their inspired visions were a bit grander than that of the France man.
