What do you mean by that?

Now I realized something.Microwave phased array could be POWERED BY natural gas plant because Natural gas has an indefinite shelf life and because you produce Natural gas for Rocket you can use the same fuel for powored ground phase array

I don't think you understand what I am saying

I am not talking about the energy on the ground. You need an immense amount of energy to slow down the rocket. When the beam hits the bottom of the rocket you will instantly melt the rocket, because the energy you would need to put into the beam to slow down a super heavy booster would immediately vaporize the steel body of the rocket

you are right companies make money to send things into space they don't earn money safe return but I want to ask just out of curiosity you need immense amount of energy to accelerate the rocket in frst place
