Isnt it ironic that the US leaving the ABM treaty, due to the events of September 11th, allowed Russia & China to pursue Hypersonic weapons or that Putin is now threatening to use these same weapons against the US?
English: Earth probes create a laser plasma shield by colliding laser-beams to repel the excessive plasma of a dangerous space superstorm (e.g by a solar super-flare), that may cause global black-out, nuclear domino explosions and an extinction event, as the one we escaped for 9 hours in July 2012 (NASA).

"While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use, with an initial focus on three areas," the page adds. Those areas are Earth observation, communications and hosted payloads (the ability to put a wide variety of instruments on the Starshield satellite bus).
Shotwell said the laser offering was called “Plug and Plaser,” suggesting the equipment could be easily installed by customers on their spacecraft.
As noted, the long-term goal of Lee and NASA is to create and deploy a network of space lasers around the globe that are “actively performing orbital maneuvers and collaboratively addressing orbital debris.” The benefits of multiple space lasers deployed on existing satellites or dedicated maneuverable platforms include wider coverage of the LEO environment, as well as the ability to use multiple lasers to defeat a single target.
It is another indication of the tech industry’s deepening relationship with the Pentagon and Silicon Valley’s about-face on the U.S. military. Once disdainful of defense work, tech startups and their financiers now often embrace national-security opportunities.
Parmeter has been canvassing Silicon Valley and other tech hot spots for possible recruits with help from Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer of data-analytics firm Palantir Technologies, which sells artificial-intelligence software to militaries.
The UK says a new anti-missile laser for its aircraft defeated 100% of its targets in a live test.
Officials said it faced off against multiple heat-seeking missiles launched simultaneously.
They said the new laser is meant for aircraft like the Shadow R2 and A400M Atlas.
The UK Defense Ministry said on Sunday that it successfully tested a new air-defense system that tracks missiles midflight and jams them with a precision laser.
In a statement, officials said the laser downed 100% of its targets at the Vidsel Test Range in Sweden while facing "a range of infrared heat-seeking missiles being fired simultaneously."
"100% of threats were quickly defeated using a laser with pinpoint accuracy," the statement said.
A joint venture with aerospace firms Leonardo and Thales, it's designed for Royal Air Force planes such as the Shadow R2 surveillance craft and the A400M Atlas transport.
