In pursuit of my continued unpopularity, I offer this interesting fact-checking article that appears to kill off the "Blue Roof" theory pretty conclusively: blue-roofed houses did in fact burn down, and at least one red-roofed house survived. No conspiracy based on roof color. I should think we would all just say "Okay, whatever," and go on to more productive pursuits. Somehow, I don't think so... https://www.newsweek.com/maui-theory-blue-objects-saved-wildfires-baseless-1821849

Dude, wut? China blasted a dead satellites out the sky with a laser several years ago. I call that a space laser.
The satellite they destroyed was with a kinetic energy weapon, not a laser. They have separately been testing lasers as a weapon against satellite sensors (too much intensity in the optics will burn out the focal plane array).
