New SCP. The name should make sense when you get to the end.
I'm not sure why, but I like this a lot. This is the first SCP I've read in a while that's had me hooked from the beginning to end.
Eh. I like the myth, and that this is an SCP where the sun launcher might actually be a really good idea, but the thing itself is a bit lacking. It seems dangerous in a kind of artificial way, and the exclusion radius is ridiculous. Also, the light on the meteor wouldn't be that intense if it's in orbit. I'm neutral for now, I suppose.
Actually full daylight is an order of magnitude greater than the current requirements (about 10K lux) so orbit would be fine, until it drifted into something's shadow.
As to the exclusion radius, my reasoning was that it's in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where the Foundation can afford to be conservative.
This is pretty cool. On a side note, I fucking love fractals.
if your reading this your gay
I love it. Creepy and downright weird. Stuff like this is why started reading SCPs.
Um, wait…This thing was Castle Bravo? But they built bombs based on what they learned from the actual Castle Bravo later, so how did they figure out that natural lithium-7 can decompose to tritium and extra neutrons without ever finding out the hard way?
Obviously the Foundation gave them their experimental data from working with [REDACTED]
I like it!
That said: Isn't this also an SCP that would, er.. would be something we *would* want to shoot into the sun?
This and a certain lizard.

I wasn't really hooked for the description (it's alright, just wasn't hooked), but by the end you had me. Bonus points for "it's his shadow". +1
