Correct, and im not downplaying the Navy Laser by any means.
and the wright flyer was
more or less a proof of concept machine as well.
What i
am saying - when i first saw the headline for this a few days ago it was similar to the thread title
"US Navy Laser destroys target ship"
what it should have read:
"US Navy laser starts small fire aboard target skiff in early test"
of course it didnt say that.
so when i clicked for video, needless to say i was disappointed when I saw
instead of
THIS. (not that i really expected the latter)
its as much of a big deal as it isnt - if that makes sense.
now... when we can upgrade the Arleigh Burkes with a laser that can split an aircraft carrier in half within 90 seconds -
that would be awesome.
