Hi!

Ah, yes You are right, as for the sake of the experiment it does not matter 
what feature a beam hits first, the mirror or the focus. These 5 demonstrate 
the idea of say radiotelescope, the reversal of it (when you distribute the 
guns around the mouth of the mirror) would show the implementation of a 
photon engine concept.

I was just curious, and  thought it would be nice to see an idea of 
interstellar propulsion in operation.
