How much energy will be lost in the conversion to laser beams and back.
This makes zero sense, Clouds will stop/deflect lasers and maybe microwaves?
Unless its a weapon.
How much mass would have to be put in orbit for this system. It takes lots of energy to put a pound into orbit.
It has to be microwaves, which can be done at 90%+ efficiency. Lasers would never work, the writer’s smoking crack on that one.
