    Uh… losses from transmitting through the atmosphere a second time?

    Damn. I wonder what its operational range would be.

      this thing is big enough to alter the average reflective index of a whole state if it swings around its mirrors

      the focus spot in theorie could be set to any range, just as u go more far the precision of each mirror angle will be the limiting factor amongst atmospheric losses distortions.

        You can shoot a strong laser and use a super sensitive receiver to a very specific frequency

        That argument doesn’t hold up
