The History Channel last night had on a program about fighter aircraft in the next 10-20-30 years, and some of the fighters had these laser weapons on the nose of the aircraft. It was AWESOME!

presumably there will be all kinds of civilian uses for this technology. I’m thinking particularly of power storage.

I hope this technology doesn’t fall into the hands of the Dark Side...
