Fun fact: Reagon spent over $250B on a space laser program during the cold war. It failed and nothing useful was gained from it.

Space lasers work and are a great way to destroy other sattelites. His SDI program was way crazier though, X-ray lasers fueled by shaped charge nukes to shoot down ICBMs.

Still more reasonable than Project Pluto. I can't believe how far we got in that particular mistake.

ETA the x-ray lasers were only a part of it. They were throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what stuck.

Is the CIA still messing around with psychics?

Probably.... Does anyone know what the CIA is currently doing?
