JJ Abrams should make a movie about the black scientist who invented this and blew up the death asteroid and saves earth. I think I smell Oscar

I doubt lasers have the kinetic energy to “deflect” anything bigger than a pea nor will they ever. Even weaponized particle beams are the stuff of SF.

They envisage putting an unmanned De-Star craft in orbit. At the first sign of a impending disaster it would target the asteroid with a high-energy laser, causing part of the rock to vaporise in a process known as sublimation.
