A global eavesdropping system? Windows reflect lasers and act as ear drums, but the angle would be wrong from space. Maybe you could overcome that by spending a gazillion dollars? I have no idea.

I’ve got to believe that these lasers will be for high-speed, very secure communications – not ABM. Perhaps the new disinterest in ABM lasers is that various coatings could conceiveable be developed to defend against the laser. Read this: http://www.starlitetechnologies.com/ – its a fantastic lightweight coating that could protect not only missiles from lasers but everything from the shuttle, to skyscrapers and houses from extreme heat and fire. Interestingly (in a conspiracy fueling manner), although this product has been proven, its not appeared commercially (the Pentagon must have bought it…). Nonetheless, it would seem to me such products and other materials, may make the ABL useless except against the least technologically developed threat.

Best part? Where Hughes says, “Our key of course is managing expectations, we certainly don’t want to get to the point where we’re promising more than we can deliver.” That would be a nice change of pace from the way missile defense has been handled to date.

This should have been part of the black project that will never reach public eyes.
