Hopefully they will not push the earth off of its orbit. The recoil from a laser that size should be astonomical. omg! if the shot is made from the wrong direction, the earthen might stop it's traditional spin? and if it stops spinning, it might fall over on it's side and go wobbling through the heavens, before stopping at the edge of a great abyss Now that's funny. Ironically funny... but... Are you trying to be clever?

One of these days, we're going to pick a lock, open a door... and REALLY not like what we find on the other side. My thoughts, as well. Hard to find a hard enough backdrop for that thing.
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

I mean, people get exited when you shoot a .22 into the air on New Years Eve, and rightfully so.

There were a lot of surprised people that found out the earth wasn't flat.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Just gotta wonder if when they shoot tha dang thing off, if'n they is gonna hit somebody's planet that is a gonna SHOOT BACK ! Gotta go practice my duck and cover drills. Also would suggest these scientists strap their asses on to the porcelein waste conveyance so when the inevitable "HOLY [bleep]" happens, they are prepared to deal with it without leaving a trail of waste behind them to mark their passage into the unknown. Can you imagine how embarassing it would be to have our first ambassadors to another dimension arrive covered in their own feces?

I thought aliens were going to invade us because we are violent and increasing our technology. wouldn't this be the lynch pin in the whole deal?
I can see a committee of aliens sitting around a large desk made of some silvery material all debating our future, then someone flys in with the story on our giant lazer, and they say, ok enough is enough lets vaporize earth. boom, we're all dead. ask the democraps, it will happen, we must plan for it.

Imagine the global warming from a laser this size? Wait until Al Gore hears about this.

What kind of Leupie would you have to put on that thing? Leupie ... ? No, no. Strap the Hubble to that bad boy.

Good point. Just to be safe use a big pile of 10pF caps. One of my BIL's used to work "pulsed power" projects for General Dynamics (military lasers) and currently (pun intended) holds the record for building the worlds' largest electric bomb. The capacitor they were testing, roughly twice the physical size of a 55 gal drum (he declined to give the capacity ), malfunctioned and destroyed the test chamber which was constructed of 6" thick reinforced concrete slabs, collapsing the roof, and blowing the walls out. They successfully created the capacitors needed for the project and he has since moved on to other pulsed power projects for other companies. Ed Sounds like a project a guy I know worked on: Stop a 500hp electric motor from full rpm to full stop in 1/2 of a revolution with a combination of electrical, and mechanical brakes.... Didn't work, but the end results were VERY loud and impressive !!
