A laser that can blast space junk can blast hanging chads. Impeach now!

IIRC, they already built something like this in Semipalatinsk in the 70’s.

As soon as they open its aperture we will destroy it with our "lazer cannon" death ray we have secretly orbiting the planet.

Ever wonder why Rocket Man's rockets just wont fly?

I would use as an example of bad luck the low probability event of flying through this thing’s beam in the brief time it was pulsed on.

Of course, in reality air space around this contraption would be restricted... but I’m just thinking.

Very frightening if they can use this to influence a U.S. election. Otherwise, yawn...

If thats all the focus the RUSSIANS can achieve on a lazer beam we have no worries. Do RUSSIANS even have fluorescent lighting yet?

The laser is the easy part. The hard bit is the acquisition and targeting systems.

Researchers at a subsidiary of Roscosmos, the Russian equivalent of Nasa, want to turn a telescope at the Altai Optical-Laser Center into a cannon which will blast space junk.

Do they play some Moody Blues music when they shoot it?

People in Seattle would pay $50 to see it.
