    Default Wicked lasers even more powerful

    Wicked lasers have a new pointer out, the Krypton:

    Claimed to have a visible range of 85 miles + claimed to be visible from outer space ie pass outside the earth's atmosphere!!

    Why is it I personally don't think such a powerful pointer is a good idea?

    Because to be visible from space you need to load it into a expensive 12" telescope?

    Wicked must sponsor the Flat Earth Society, last time I checked the Horizon was a few miles away. Oh well...

    Many folks are going to drink the marketing kool-aid. Most will buy the cheaper one.

    For those who do not know why we older folks say that, google "Jim Jones" and "Kool-Aid."
    A sad case in religious history.
