I once thought about laser-deflection using electrostatically deflected
mirrors in a vacuum.  You could really reduce mass and air friction.  I
think I calculated some poor performance numbers though (e.g., size of
mirror/plate Vs. driving voltage Vs. deflection) but maybe I was wrong.

Just an idea..
