Two sides to this. First is, if anyone has the quadrillions of dollars required to actually implement your considerably audacious plan, they will assuredly have enough money to develop other, more destructive weapons, for lower cost. The second is, you don't need a massive space based laser to cause massive damage. Simply strap a booster to any moderately sized asteroid, and nudge it toward the earthbound target. Cheap and very very dangerous. c _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
