Clouds will depend on the frequency.
X-Ray lasers are extremely difficult but they exist. Stepping down from extremely difficult to merely difficult may have some merit.
Whether it's worth the cost will be interesting. Microsats is curious - geostationary would be an easier place to start without the steering complexity.
An interesting project for sure.
Remember when they ported VAX/VMS to PC architecture and put a Windows 3 GUI on top?
That evolved.
"Watch this space."
> pay the Chinese to host our fucking military servers
no, but that's literally what they were doing.

Now imagine you need to start a few dozen air conditioners simultaneously. The startup energy can be 10x the operating energy.
I've been doing the math on some of this for home solar. In my case I can ramp up the voltage over a few seconds but AIUI rockets still need instant action in many cases.
It's possible future reusable spacecraft could be more proactive, lowering costs and necessary chassis strength. Most of our technology starts off brute force and gets refined with more elegance but also more complexity over time. We're still early days in spaceflight.
How "bout those removable phone batteries?
Yeah, taxes are generally unavoidable for most people.
Hosting a blog on Substack is just a market choice among so many.
Apple and Google stores are a bit more grey; I'd allow it.

The trouble with Transhumanists is that they all imagine there will eventually be only one human per company with an army of AI's to do the work.
But they all think they'll be that one person.
Also, they're insane.
