Radio Telescope Has Military Uses?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Sunday December 11, 2005 @10:22PM from the where-do-you-think-a-lot-of-scientific-research-comes-from dept.

schnippy writes "A joint Mexico-U.S. effort to build a monster radio telescope in Mexico is causing concerns because the project, the Large Millimeter Telescope, is part of a U.S. Defense Department effort to develop the target acquisition and directed-energy technology needed for anti-satellite warfare." From the article: " Supporters said links between science and the military are nothing new and emphasized the telescope being assembled on the 15,000-foot Sierra Negra in the state of Puebla wont be some kind of Star Wars defense outpost."
