You want to know what is crazy?.... None of the work normies are in slack doing fund raisers or virtue signaling or anything. I usually expect that kind of shit. I dunno if everyone is just war/disaster fatigued or even the normies don't care about CA?
Yeah but I'm sure that would be a huge treaty/airspace violation, and sending anything to space is a big todo. There is an entire agency that does nothing but track satellites. The evidence would be floating up in space (or tracked entering the atmosphere) and that would give anyone else caucus belli to blow your country's comms and spy satellites into shrapnel. Also I bet powering a laser with a solar array is a fucking bitch, who knows what kind of batteries/capacitors you would need for the thing and I doubt that shit is light. 10k per pound to send anything to space.
Actually they talk about LASERS of exceptionally high wattage, like the ones we KNOW the navy has, but thrown onto a satellite. I don't even know why the idea is so insane to people, its entirely possible from off the shelf parts, as far as satellite stuff goes. Only potential issue is getting the "focus point" to be the right distance the ground roughly, but beyond that its just aiming a laser....just from space. Not hard.
