Okay, it's time to look back at some of our stories from last week.

And if you remember, we were talking about this in the news round.

A lot of people commented on it.

The letter that was raised of concern to the Federal Communications Commission by 2,500 researchers from more than 30 countries who did not want orbital deployment of mirrors in space.

And the idea is that you could put a mirror up in space and reflect the sunlight down to a patch of land.

It could be as big as a...

as a football field, or even much smaller, which is incredible to think about.

Or it could be quite large, it could do a whole town.

And lots of astronomers and scientists said, this is a bad idea.

I think it's a really cool idea, but I don't think we should do it.

But I think it's a really cool idea.

That's why I said that last week.

Aidan McKelvie, producer of the show, joins me in studio to go through some of the comments.

Yeah.

I mean, it's really, it's kind of fun to think about, you know, it's very much a sort of Jim Carrey, Truman show sort of, you know, remember they did the rain shower and it followed him around.

Yeah, exactly.

But actually, you know, it's kind of cool.

But some people didn't like it.
