I am so tired of seeing ideas that are indiscernible from satire. This is like something that they would have come up with on HBO's Silicon Valley.

This has in fact already been done, by the Soviets.

I've seen this proposed two decades ago, but basically under a dual use proposal: orbital solar concentrator and death laser.
I had the same thought as you -- glad to see I'm not the only one.
