    I had lunch with the CEO of Raytheon back in 2004 or 2005 sometime.

    He was very excited about the prospects of space-based laser warfare. He also wanted to keep high detail surveillance records of Iraq so that participants in insurgent attacks could be ID’d, followed, and eliminated.

    Combine them both, and you have space-based insurgent laser frying in real time. Neato.

    For the record, I asked how he felt about being a merchant of death, and he said, “We make weapons so the good guys can beat the bad guys.” Refreshing perspective.
