This interests me more..plus Reagan's Ideas of his Star wars project. Both these subjects were years ago. So this has been around for a long time. Was Reagan really thinking of a Soviet threat ?
LOL, really? I suspect :1. Your friend worked on classified projects and didn't want to talk about the facts2. He never worked on particle beam weapons
yes Howard i agree. Ronald Reagan took it serious. very serious.
lost his mind over it
you can laugh at it but have you really looked into it. Reagan was not a Dreamer and he did take it serious. Still everyone can have a point of view, by the way the Guy in the film is ex US Air Force and has a PHD. Not a fool. I believe him. He was doing a job in the cold war time where Guys like you and me would never get near to doing security wise.
by lost his mind , i was referring to his alzheimer's
what if the persone being shot at pulls out a mirror and the laser goes back to the person shooting?Stupid seals....
I read that all the tests the Navy conducted were at targets moving in a fixed trajectory. If that's the case, I'm not very impressed.
Unless it was a perfectly machined mirror, the laser is going to dump enough energy into the material to vaporize it pretty quickly. A POS mirror is almost no help.
