Foreo CEO Paul Peros (Sweden) presented the idea of ​​using available materials on the moon to lighten its surface, according to Space Reporter.

The goal is to reflect more light on the Earth, making the night sky less dark, less need for street lights, thereby reducing the amount of electricity used, and ultimately cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Foreo claims to spend $ 52 million on project research and development, while the company's website expects the first lunar mission under the project to be in 2020, with new self-propelled devices going. to Ms Hang every 3 years.

According to Foreo, just polishing 0.1% of the moon's surface is enough to achieve 80% of the desired lightening effect.

The goal is like that, but whether or not implementation is a different matter, and the global technology experts are skeptical of its performance.
