Lets suppose a space station is threatened by a meteor or some kind of space debris, and the station couldn't be moved fast enough. Could lasers, or particle beams become a realistic solution for that situation in not so far future?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-beam_weaponIt talked about a GJ power, although i am not sure it is credible enough.
Lets suppose we have only 10 MJ. If i calculate correctly 10 MJ is enough to vaporize 1kg of titanium in vacuum.
Could be the vapor, or melted metal still dangerous, or would it disperse fast enough? Or redirect the dangerous object with steam pressure?
