@Toastie: Actually, the Nazis supposedly thought of that exact idea.

@Toastie: Orbit in a spot exposed to sunlight, use mirror to bounce light through ship's lens for projection. I made a diagram...

This was beautiful, but I thought he was going to use the sun as the lightsource and the ship would be a lens of sorts. Seems like a missed opportunity (and would have been a clever reference to old carbon-arc projectors!), but it's still very cool.
