Boeing 747 uses laser to destroy missile
A U.S. military aircraft, equipped with an airborne laser device, successfully shot down a test missile in the sky off the central California coast Thursday night.
The high-energy laser, mounted on the nose of a modified Boeing 747-400F, was focused on the missile target during its boosting phase. The laser beam burned a hole in the side of the missile.
It was the first time that a laser weapon has engaged and destroyed an in-flight ballistic missile, and is the first time that any system has accomplished destroyed a missile as it was in its boosting phase.

General Lyman Lemnitzer, report to the Pentagon Immediately.
General Curtis LeMay, you are wanted in the White House SitRoom immediately.
President Ronald Reagan, we will begin bombing in five minutes.
Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper has issued the command.
"The U.S. can be repopulated" if sufficient numbers of people are isolated underground "in a gender ratio of "ten females to each male," with the women selected for their stimulating sexual characteristics and the men selected for physical strength, intellectual capabilities, and importance in business and government."
That is all.
