Yeah. I'm trying to not be personally really mad.

I want to know if I could put like thousands of tiny aerodynamic ceramic projectiles in orbit. Thats what I'd be doing if I was an evil supervillain.
back before satellites were any good, the US govt launched roughly a billion needle sized metal shards into orbit to bounce radio signals off of

anything small-ish is gonna burn up upon re-entry tho, like the heat shield tiles work because its just one size of the tile being roasted on re-entry, and are constantly replaced on reusable vehicles

The thing about Evil supervillain plots on planet earth is that... if it's possible, someone has done or is doing it...

and then it circles back around to M.A.D.
