Giant mirrors in space could also focus the light to create a superweapon that could destroy cities. Critics argue that there might be some disadvantages to this idea.
Yeah but the Global Defence Initiative need to be ready with their superweapon for when Kane rises in power. Do you know he'll be nuclear armed!
Could even melt an ice palace, endangering the lives of James Bond and Halle Barry in the process (don't worry, they'll be fine, they've got hefty plot armor).
We already have superweapons In the form of nukes, this is a lot harder
Could probably destroy a fancy telescope or someone's retinas using a normal telescope"
