Space-X put took the laser to the ISS...
Reminds me of Paul Simon's song "The Boy in The Bubble" [1]
...
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
a loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires, and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long-distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all, oh yeah
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
...

EDIT: Added link, not bad prediction considering it was released in 1986
- benihana 12y agoIt was referring to the violence of apartheid. You left out the opening lines mentioning the shattering of shock windows, the bomb in the baby carriage, and the soldiers on the side of the road, which change the entire meaning of the lines you posted.
- moheeb 12y agoMy guess is that those lines didn't remind the author of lasers in space.
