There's much less high speed objects to puncture the mirror on earth. I think the environment up there is more hostile than you describe

- Turing_Machine 10y agoI think you're vastly overestimating the density of such objects. Space is really pretty empty. Also, small holes won't hurt the mirror to any significant degree.
- zdkl 10y agoI'm more worried about kinetic energy than density in this scenario, but younre certainly right that this is low frequency anyway
