A laser-pointer visible from outer-space?

[MrFug]

Yep, that's wickedlasers at it again. Creating highly dangerous weapons and branded them as toys. This time they've pushed the boundary right to the limit, in terms of legality, with a 1W laser. 8,000 times brighter than the sun and with a beam that can traverse a distance of 84-miles, extending beyond the earths atmosphere and into outer-space. No longer are laser pointers the bane of bus drivers or low flying aircrafts, now astronauts and satellite hardware are at risk.

Take a shot to the eye, even a reflected beam, with the krypton and it's instant Stevie Wonder.

And yet very little regulation, so if you want one, buy one quick before the UK government slams an iron curtain down on this trade avenue.

ON The website it says:-
Warning: This laser's brightness is potentially hazardous to pilots' vision and satellite sensors. NEVER point it at an aircraft or a satellite. The S3 Krypton is too powerful to be used as a laser pointer or a gunsight. Never point it at another person, an animal or a vehicle.

How are you supposed to know if you have pointed it at a satellite????? The tv ones most on here should know roughly where they are, but what about all the private and military satellites????????

It should be banned and they should stop production???.

Imagine if terrorists got hold of it, danger to our boy?s life in the front line!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah yeah.. ~~~~ the suicide bombers, guns, bombs, missiles, etc.. they got LASERS lads!!!!

~~~~ing hell jumbe.. do you live in the real world?

They have no practical application at all. Some astronomers use lasers for pointing out constellations, but a laser far less powerful will suffice for that purpose.

A laser that stretches 84 mile is purely, well, fun. :-D

Thats the kids sorted for christmas then..................

[Meat-Head]

so, if Buzz Lightyear is spacewalking, holding a ballon, can you pop it with one of these?

[gopher7]

Watch out ET, we got LASERS.

[johnboy1974]

Now we can check to see if theres really reflectors on the moon.

[garry1312]

you seen the price of one of these bad boys .

Got to admit it looks pretty awsome, but seriously what use would anyone have for this?

[DJSimo]

At 1000Mw you?ll easily burn through plastic, paper and a whole lot more. A laser so powerful, it should be illegal ? but is actually approved by the FDA

Taken from another site selling them...

[Canker_Canison]

I'd be blinding ~~~~ers who leave their full beam on. But then I am evil..... & a little nuts.

If I had $1000 to waste I'd have one in an instant.

OK, we can get DK members to stand down the A1, with ballons you in London, see if, you can pop them.

OFF TOPIC:-

There are vids on youtube, how to make lazer pen pop ballons, go to the fair, where they give you blunt darts and flat ballons, stab, BLAM snigger

Is the laser good enough to cut cash machine in half I will buy five in instalments, and will eventually pay instantly after the experiment???????
