CONT

Les meilleurs estimations indiquent que le coût d'une seule «station de bataille-laser» serait dix fois plus grand que tout autre système moderne de haute technologie [...] Il n'y a actuellement aucun plan sérieux pour une station spatiale émettrice du rayon de la mort. (Pour la Science, no 74, décembre 1983, p. 24).
