Can you imagine thousands of those floating around?  If that were the case, our buildings would become sky scrapers, and we'd occupy the sky.

Cool site.

Just out of curiosity, what's the name of that giant satellite in South America?  You know, the one that lady from the movie "Contact" worked at.
