How much energy a laser needs to be useful against an orbital target?
I know the Army blew the shit out of a decomisioned  comm satellite back in 2005. 
I'm asking here of really combat capable lasers, capable of making a hole without having to burn through the target like current lasers do.

				I think the yellow ones have eliminated the middleman and nowadays just post using Siege's account.
			
			
			
				6.6 fucktons.
			
			
			
				1.21 gigawatts!
			
			
			
				9.86 infinityjoules squared.
			
			
			
				Siege, as a Jew you know physics right? You could look at the energy of the smallest/less energetic regular bullet that you think would wreck a satellite. There's your kind of base energy, then you just adjust for all the differences between a laser beam and a bullet and you're done.
