I said "THOR", I meant "THEL". Yes, it's a line of site laser, yet can
be space based. Check your calendar, is the moon visible from
your location? Imagine a few hundred of these on the moon!
Actually, what's the point in sending a Tomahawk from an off-shore
Destroyer or human-piloted fighter/bomber, when you can send
something up in a parabolic trajectory that uses GPS to steer while
decending upon its target?
