Seems Pretty Do-Able...

You know how the sun is blotted out by the moon during a solar eclipse?

Wouldn't it be possible to blot out the sun with an artificial object? A giant space disc of some sort - it could even be made of very thin material...

They did something similar on The Simpsons, but that was very small scale. This would be larger, and it would be in space. It would blot out the sun all over the Earth.

And it wouldn't necessarily be that enormous - but located at just the right distance.

Can you imagine holding the world hostage in this way?

"I'll keep blotting out the sun until you bring back Vinyl Records."

"And Fleetwood Mac must perform, in my backyard. Wearing Classic Star Trek uniforms."

Scary.
