    The original post is equivalent to saying “this mirror is 1/8 the brightness of the light bulb in my room” and then buying 8 mirrors and turning off the light bulb.

      That’s the fun of out of context comics. This one doesn’t state that the goal is to replace the sun, but to equal its brightness.

      Suppose batman has a new sun-powered gadget, except well he’s Batman so it needs to work at night. But he’d need 455000 moons to pull that off, and yet he does it somehow.

      I’d read that comic…
