Albeit the U.S. outlawed sanctioned assasinations against dissadent rogue elements. It would provide use as icbm barrier on unwanted guests stemming from our former Ottoman friends.As well as NPRK and company. Iwould think a 5 megawatt powerplant in orbit would provide adequate output for the twelve mi dwn rnge effect,we know the rail gun works and at mach 18 provides effective g.p.s. directed ballastics./HM3 Scott Burrell MDWbluebox747@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108886964674373631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-88154716486285946092012-02-13T21:10:26.630-05:002012-02-13T21:10:26.630-05:00The U.S. army has had a space based ruby laser sin...The U.S. army has had a space based ruby laser since 1983. <br />However with the recent developments in computer chips and technology it is likely to say a newer system such as the Navys <br />Free Electron Laser system capable of 20 foot burn through solid steele is more likely. It is against the Geneva convention and Salt II to emplore space based weapons and since Russia now runs our Nasa its unlikely. It would set off a type of second cold war. <br />Additionally I have no doubt Rods from God (Tungsten Rods based on Kinetic acceleration mach 18 are somewhere probably available. Extreme in nature is a light term.<br /> I think it quite probable that space based systems will depend on whether the laser can transmit the twelve miles down range. It is more that feasible. Many secret works in Marylands Eastern Shore at the laser development center.Such a weapon would prove worthy on such targets such as Iran. The sabre rattling and recent Israeli diplomat killings will soon yield the result so we might see such actions soon. Irans recent launch of a space vehicle in orbit sends a loud message. Pair this to the nuclear program and its looks bad. More than likely this engagement will some how be surgical . The worst case would be mutual retaliation. Secretive operations would probably the best scenario and even possibly the use of EMP to blind Iran as Israeli jets dismantle Irans nuclear capabiliites and space program. No one wants this however such as Korea they are like a child screaming for attention when they don't get it they lash out only <br />enough's enough they are about to get spanked and belted. <br />Thankyou HM3 Scott Burrell- Nellisbluebox747@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108886964674373631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-9632278761096799902010-03-11T14:55:57.966-05:002010-03-11T14:55:57.966-05:00"Rakatoplan,” = Raktoplan = spacecraft"Rakatoplan,” = Raktoplan = spacecraftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-78398263374820044082009-11-04T15:13:25.174-05:002009-11-04T15:13:25.174-05:00While I agree with most of your points Sean, I do ...While I agree with most of your points Sean, I do think that re-fueling may be an important part of a ssto aerospace plane. Because of the weight of fuel, the strike platform would have to refuel before it's insertion into low earth orbit. Also, I would hope the U.S. has already created this capability and has a "well kept secret". Finally, as your new article on a possible Chinese Laser Weapon illustrates, there may indeed already be a defensive measure against a space plane strike platform. <br /> There are a series of novels by Dale Brown which cover some of the technologies although they are of course - "fiction".<br /> Keep up your terrific work. I really enjoy reading your material and find your research impeccable. Regards, Jim Heffernan<br />JHeffernan@BEL.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501491167509727684noreply@blogger.com
