SECOND! so how fast do you think it takes for a laser beam to leave a laser detector and then come back to give the reading? assume a LEO can use it 1/2 mile out, which means the laser beam will have to go 1 mile, so divide that 1 second by 186,000 which is 5 microseconds (millionths of a second) that is the reaction time you need to beat. I am guessing the detector response is probably slower than that.
