But let’s return to military topics. As far back as WWII, people have been looking at space as a potential military advantage. Hitler and the Nazis were among the pioneers in rocket technology, which is why they invested in some pretty crazy ideas.
One of the most impressing is the construction of a gigantic mirror in Earth’s orbit, which would be capable of reflecting the sun’s light and to focus it in a concentrated beam on Earth’s surface. The mirror would be controlled by a rocket, placed in its center. Physicists have worked on the idea quite seriously until they reached the conclusion that the diameter of the beam would be 40 miles and it wouldn’t cause any damage at all. Unable to add this cult weapon to his arsenal, Hitler lost the war and the Arian race lost both a supporter and a mirror.
