EDIT: Oh, yeah. I forgot this: A laser 10 billion times less powerful took out a drone from a mile away. Have they tested this thing?

And also just in case the aliens show up and they're not that friendly!

Tons of respectable Anime documentaries have shown that nuclear warheads are absolutely ineffective against Alien invaders. We need giant mechas piloted by teenagers with self-esteem issues if we want to survive.

I'm amused by the thread suggesting this is a Death Star style planet-destroying laser, and there are some people who think it would be a good idea to fire it at our own planet.
