As for lasering people from space, it is ny impression that the current vague proposals for missile destroying space-based beam weapons depend on exploding small nuclear devices to excite the lasers. Such weapons are expensive and non-reusable, and can't be used frivolously, since such uses would start wars. I suppose, though, that there are other proposals around by now.
