Thanks for the tip, started watching the show for the start. Nice quality, Homeland in the 80s! I tried to tweak some extra contrast/sharpness from the player.
The FX series "The Americans" is about a couple of KGB agents working in Washington in 1981. In episode three they bought some plans for the American missile shield. I took these pictures off the TV screen, so the quality is not great.
Would be a great opportunity for SpaceX to buy Ad time for their new television commercial - like they have started running on FOX News. FX may have same parent company - maybe they could get a discount.
[What's the content of this commercial? Somewhere available?

Even better, why not have the companies that built the "anti-missile platform", like Boeing and Lockheed Martin have advertisements. They at least have a connection.

Should have said the companies with the legacy contractors.McDonnell-Douglas, Rockwell and Martin Marietta.

Note that it's not an "X-ray" laser, it's a "X laser." That might be harder to find.
