I hope the Pentagon does indeed get the funding for this.

I actually hope they've been working on it for 30 years and have already deployed quite a few good working weapons. If they're not 20-30 years ahead of what we think is possible, we could be in trouble.

Good point. I agree. Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems with kinetic warheads would also be a good non-nuclear way to destroy deep bunkers too.

As long as they don't touch any nukes, I'm OK with this. Nothing will attract Cylons faster than a nuclear detonation in orbit.

LOL! Actually having a nuclear deterrant in orbit would be an advantage. Especially if it were at an altitude that no other nation's rocket could reach.

1) In response to the ground based lasers shooting out into space: just make sure you hit what you want. Funny thing about space, it'll just keep going till it hits something and who knows what that might cause.
2) All of the Pentagon's best ideas in the next few decades will come from Gene Roddenberry and Geogre Lucas.

LOL not a bad idea. Several spaced based laser satellites arranged in a pattered and firing their beam at the same target would no doubt cause more destruction than a single beam from a single sattelite.

Well, Iran just launched a Russian built spy satellite that would make a perfect test target at very little cost.

Yep. There is the Pegasus too I think. The technology has been around for decades. I would not be surprised if what is mentioned in this article is already operational.
