Fun fact: Reagon spent over $250B on a space laser program during the cold war. It failed and nothing useful was gained from it.

Space lasers work and are a great way to destroy other sattelites. His SDI program was way crazier though, X-ray lasers fueled by shaped charge nukes to shoot down ICBMs.

Still more reasonable than Project Pluto. I can't believe how far we got in that particular mistake.

ETA the x-ray lasers were only a part of it. They were throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what stuck.

Is the CIA still messing around with psychics?
