This was a question from a few years ago, and they seem to give it fair
treatment at http://www.howstuffworks.com/question194.htm
I think it could be a fun project with a lightweight geodesic frame and some
mylar, but to be truly effective, I suspect nanotech-level control will be
needed. (I've got a whole design for this stuff in my head, but we're nowhere
near being able to make it, yet.)
