Beamed Propulsion and Planetary Security
- kristianp 2y agoI'm getting about 5 words per line on my Samsung phone. Unreadable, the borders are too damned wide!
- watersb 2y agoIn Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe of science fiction stories, ground-based lasers built for interstellar propulsion end up being used to fend off alien invasion. Example story "Madness Has Its Place" https://temp.larryniven.net/?q=bibliographic-reference/madness-has-its-place https://temp.larryniven.net/?q=bibliographic-reference/madne... Available at Baen's Library https://www.baen.com/Chapters/0671878794/0671878794___3.htm https://www.baen.com/Chapters/0671878794/0671878794___3.htm . (okay, not necessarily Earth based lasers; perhaps the "ground" is more like "asteroid" or "tiny rock space station"...)
