Hey Reddit! So, yeah, just like the title says. If you're wondering, it's orbiting Earth right now, at about the height of the ISS. It's pretty badass, if I do say so myself. But you fine people don't need to take my word for it! I hacked the ISS tracker site and turned it into the Death Laser tracking site!

Oh yeah, I guess you're going to need some proof that my baby can do what I say, right? M'kay, how about this? Ten minutes after this post goes live, I'll blow something up! I'll even let you choose. Let's say the moon, Mars, or, let's go with Venus. The poll will go live at about the same time this post does, so vote away!

Edit 1: The people have spoken! And man, you guys really hate Venus. I mean, wow! That was really lop sided. Okay, folks, keep your eyes on the sky, because this is going to be bright.

Edit 2: Man, you guys lost all your creativity. I mean, really, let's get some more interesting questions! Okay, I guess I'll answer the most common questions here.

Q1: Why am I doing this? Mostly because I can and the Earth sucks. Or, well, I guess people suck. But all the people live on Earth, so yeah. Bye bye Earth. Bye bye humanity.

Q2: Is there any way to stop my Death Laser? Short answer? No. I've got, like, a dozen ways to make sure it goes off, even if something bad happens to me. And if you think taking out the laser is possible, then nope. No country on Earth can launch something capable of destroying it so quickly.

But what do you say we make things more interesting? For every 100 upvotes this post gets, I'll delay the laser by 1 minute! And awards will give you an extra 5 minutes! I'll even make it retroactive, so all the stuff I already got counts. Who knows, maybe if enough people keep this going, someone will be able to nuke the Death Laser out of the sky or something!

Q3: How did I build a giant orbital Death Laser without anyone noticing? Uh, because I'm awesome, that's why. I'll admit it wasn't easy, and it took a lot of time, but it was so worth it. But if you really want some kind of specifics, I basically used robots. I built each part from scratch, built a bunch of robots to assemble it in space, hooked everything up to a lot of small rockets, and launched them all one by one. It took a few years, but I did it.

Q4: If I can build a giant orbital Death Laser, then couldn't I do something beneficial to humanity instead? Yes. Yes I could. But see question 1 on why I'm not.

Q5: Is there anything I want that can stop this. See question 3. No, I'm not holding the world ransom. I don't give a damn about money. You can't buy me out. I'm literally blowing up the world, with me on it! You think I care about my bank account?

Edit 3: Wow, so many upvotes! So many awards! You guys like me! Yay! I'm still gonna blow everything up though. You just have more time to mess around. Oh, and if you're thinking that some government is going to save you? Nah. I totally hacked pretty much everyone. I didn't completely shut them down though. They technically can still take out my Death Laser if they work fast enough, but the odds are pretty slim.

Also, I'm glad you guys are asking more interesting questions. Keep it up for as long as you can!

Edit 4: Welp, time's just about up. All you guys have left now is to go outside. Look up to the sky and watch the biggest, best, and last light show on Earth. See ya, Reddit. It's been fun!
