It’s being tested on Mars for action in Iran. 
The rock-vaporizing laser has indeed been successfully tested.
This rover is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!
On what, Republicans? Iran? Pakistanis shooting American Advisers?
I’m going for meter maids.
Seems to me that Curiosity is playing a rather lop-sided game of laser tag.
That link says it’s “interrogating” rocks with that laser. We’ve created a monster. It’ll be waterboarding next, mark my words.
All the water on Mars being frozen, that would truly be torture.
Although, I did find “interrogating rocks” much cooler-sounding than this blasting and vaporizing which I suppose is technically true but I’m not 12.

Then it turned around and saw where it had been.
Been there, done that.
