Why not use a laser with the same amount of energy?

This has zero chance of working.

E: "... but Japan has shown the keenest interest since 2016, pouring in 46.3 billion yen (US$300 million) in the past three years."

300 million. LAWRZ.

The odd time I'll drop everything I'm doing, even slamming on the brakes at 80mph while in a funeral procession, just to ponder if Prince Potemkin knew the impact he would have on the future with his use of deceptive imagery...presented in just the right way the mirage looks real...so there's no need for a closer look, you just trust the presenter.
