Hey, don't worry dude. We haven't landed on the moon yet.

I wonder exactly what they consider a relatively low powered laser.

[citation][nom]__-_-_-__[/nom]they are gonna so pissed when they discovered that they spent billions for nothing. mirror? heat resistance? fog? oh wait... they known it already...[/citation]This isn't your laser pointer.
Mirror? Not even the best mirrors in the world reflect enough of this things energy for the material of the mirror not melt.
Heat Resistance? This turn what its focused on into plasma. Its not simply a matter of dissipating heat.
Fog? The line of steam and this thing would make on its way to the target would be really cool to see.

:O and yet they wont do another moon mission.. still cool so could this be used to stop nuclear missles and such? cause they would be epic

[ch42832n]

I hope Boeing will not outsource the production of this to low cost country like China...

 

[jamesedgeuk2000]
