Re: Whatever happened
To space lasers which could fire down on missiles?
We (the human race, let alone the Americans) don't have the technology to do it properly. To do lasers, you need plentiful power and whatever the laser runs off (as well as cooling).
Putting all that in a re-usable satellite, getting it to orbit *and* servicing at appropriate service intervals? Not happening at the moment.
