\I hope everybody here recognized the obsurdity of thinking that a 20
/meter mirror could "extend the daylight hours of the Siberian regions."
\'The Guardian' clearly doesn't.  (Typical newspaper science writing.)
/The most the mirror would do is make a bright spot in the sky.

Or test the deployment mechanism for a larger mirror more useful
for illumination.

\But, as my .sig notes, journalists don't have a monopoly on stupidity.

Later... maybe even next semester... this account's probably going away...
