	:The problem seems to be that you don't know how a guide star laser works. Such a laser works by stimulating the electrons of (partly ionized) particles in the upper atmosphere, such that they will emit visible light when they fall back to their original energy level. This has nothing to do with scattering, because it is absorption followed by emission in random directions. (Scattering is highly dependent on the angle of the incoming light.) The result is a long thin cylinder of glowing atmosphere that will look like a star when you look at it from a small angle. (e.g. from the ground, 10 meters away from the laser with the "star" being 100km or so up) Given good instruments and a relatively small angle between the laser beam (and thus the "artificial star cylinder") and observer, you could also see this "star" from the other direction and if you sweep the laser beam, the star will appear to move in  the atmosphere. The part of the atmosphere where the laser excites the particles forms a kind of "milk screen" that you could project a star or even (faint) pictures on and see them from front and behind.		:The problem seems to be that you don't know how a guide star laser works.

	:Communication through laser beams is a different matter. For one thing, you will chose a wavelength that will not excite any particles along the path of the laser,  as that would weaken the signal. And you would of course communicate directly using the light of the laser and not indirectly using some radiation emitted through stimulation of particles.		:Communication through laser beams is a different matter.

		+	=== Use of "planning" instead of "planing" ===
		+	On Page 41, Corlandin says to Erasmas: "I understand that some planning took place in the kitchen?" and it is clear that he meant "planing." It is a small thing but slightly confusing to the reader at this early stage in the book when the term "planing" has just been introduced and not yet defined.
