So, if you had a multi-terawatt orbital laser platform...

[jagec]

What would you do?

After your two shots, the thing blows up or something, I don't know. Right now no one knows of its existence. You have access to a phone and the internet, and presumably can't get tracked down unless you do something stupid.

Your move.

It's a platform with a laser on it, and it's in orbit.

A weapons platform that orbits the earth and uses high-energy coherent beams of light to strike at targets on the ground or in the air.

Next question.

 

[Brainonska511]

What's the blast radius of this orbital laser platform?

well, it's fairly high-power, on the order of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

So many targets and so few shots...

 

[Horus]

Strike 1: Tehran

Strike 2: Ponjiyang

First, I'd name it the Alan Parsons Project.
Then, I'd shoot it at JLGatsby.
Twice.

Nothing. I'd save it for a rainy day. Something like that could come in really handy when you least expect it.

Tell me about it.

of course, you coul take out one target, and then just use it to threaten people for a while...for all they know, you can keep firing indefinitely.

But inside we all know you're weeping, and thus you feel the need to fill that empty void by posting your crap on AT.

 

[YoshiSato]

Here's the question.

Am I the only one that knows there are two shots?

If so, I'd Vap Iran and North Korea and bluff Russia and China like the United States did Japan after dropping Fat Man and Little Boy.

I don't spend much time on ATOT, you act like I'm on here all day.

Inside....I'm digesting.

 

[OrganizedChaos]

Bluffing is a valid strategy, but finding a secure conduit for carrying your messages might be problematic.

Remember, everyone's going to be claiming credit the moment you fire a shot.

 

[Yossarian]

I would fill my least favorite professor's house with jiffypop and target it with the laser.

Point it at the manufacturer, call them up, and tell them to build me a new one without that crappy two-shot limit.
