The video thread below has some spirited and interesting discussions in regards to how this could or couldn’t work!

Commenter Michael had this to say about the concept:

Great idea. Only thing about a space based system is the potential for weaponization as a global mega deathray.

Commenter Enigma Hood replied to his question:

It could, hard to say given this is theoretical stuff, it’s possible to construct but we haven’t constructed it yet, so we don’t know if the orbital microwave can be weaponized or not. If it could, it could still be shot down by anti-satellite missiles which every space faring nation has, but of course if the satellite is lethal to ground targets, it can shoot down missiles too. All in all, I wouldn’t be too worried about its military significance any more than what we already have.

What do you think?  We hope you enjoy the video.
