Not since the ending days of World War II has the United States rained havoc on Japan and yet... Here we are 78 years after the really big one ended and NASA lasers are raining down on Japan. Yup. The NASA laser rain was actually caught on camera, which is a fairly amazing trick. The laser-catching camera was installed just outside the Hiratsuka City Museum by museum curator Daichi Fujii who had suspicions about NASA dropping laser rain on his city. Mr. Fujii wasn't about to take the laser rain peaceably. Nope. Mr. Fujii sprang into action after rumors about the NASA laser rain began to spread around Hiratsuka City. Upon being grilled about the laser rain on Japan, NASA insisted that there was no harm to any Japanese and calling the NASA laser rain an act of war was simply "over the top." The NASA brain trust made mention of their laser satellite which is an "ICESat-2", and NASA insisted the satellite was for the most part harmless. Sure sure... Mr. Fujii and other Japanese authorities were adamant about the "seriousness of the issue" and took their grievances to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. The U.S. State Department would neither confirm nor deny Japanese claims. Figures. Now for Saturday machine art without courtesy of lasers.
