>>65204742>preventing us from try it again?The laws of physics.
>>65204742>build kajillion-ruble space laser cannon>programming error causes spin 360 degrees and boost away from LEO into the south pacific oceanhow many Soviet scientists got executed for that you think?
>>65204742Same thing as the 80s, power generation. We haven't even built small (semi trailer) sized reactors on Earth, it's an entirely different story to build one for space based operations.
>>65204746>seppukuIt's Sudoku. You commit Sudoku.
Lasers suck. A particle gun would be better.
>>65204779None, they all knew it was over at that poinit.
>>65204742You need MANY lasers in orbit to achieve reliable coverage of a certaiin area on teh ground..It is smarter to use ground lasers. You place one in the area you want them to cover.Nothing is stopping us, it is mostly a question of use case.
