A casual query about satellites and visibility

Hey all! First time poster here. Seem like a chill place if the rules are truly respected. 😎

I was sitting on my porch tonight looking at the planes flying past. I have a wide view, and air traffic seems busy today. I started to think about the lights on airplanes. I live near an airport and sometimes when they come in the landing lights are INSANELY bright these days. I started to wonder if they would be visible if pointed downward from space. Not a plane in space per say, but a vehicle equipped with such lights. Then I wondered what the sky would look like on a clear night if every current satellite could be equipped with said lights.

What do you think?

Just another fucking day

I drink shit beer by the fucking gallon. I bought a fucking 18 pack case of pounders yesterday. (16 ounces for the clueless few. 😜) I cracked #1 at 5:30ish PM. It 5:47 AM now. I have four more left in the chamber plus the one I'm working now. They will fucking be gone before 9 AM today. I'm still functional, although I sure as fuck would not even go near my car right now!

How many of you motherfuckers can hang with that? It's an endurance thing. Can ya tell I'm a fucking alcoholic? 🤣
