#1 In the early 70's 3dc worked in a lab developing gases for lasers in those days actually using them in gas lasers were not planned because even 5 nines reflective mirrors or 5 nines clear glass couldn't take the high energy without burning up.
This Lockheed one has mirrors and lenses and a glass cover. I wonder how they keep it clean enough not to burn itself up.
