“Reflective surfaces are more vulnerable”? I’m gonna need a fact check on that one.

“Reflective surfaces are more vulnerable”? I’m gonna need a fact check on that one.
- aimor 3y agoI suspect the issue is that the reflective materials are weak. That is, a heat shield would survive longer against a laser than a mirror.
- sebzim4500 3y agoMirrors are extremely sensitive to high energy radiation. Maybe something similar happens with very powerful lasers?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoNothing is perfectly reflective, so the energy that is absorbs destroys the mirror quickly and then it becomes absorptive.
