DARPA working on Arthur C Clarke weapon 1

Submitted by holy_calamity
holy_calamity writes "DARPA is working on a weapon using the same principle as one first described by Arthur C Clarke in his 1945 novel Earthlight — firing jets of molten metal using strong electromagnetic fields. Clarke is also widely credited with suggesting geostationary communications satellites — what other ideas of his will come to pass?"

  • You know, I have one simple request. And that is
    to have spacecraft with frickin' jets of molten metal attached to their hulls!
    Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done.
    Ah, would you remind me what I tax you people for, honestly?
    Throw me a bone here! What do we have?
