The title text suggests that, due to the sunshield not being angled to shield Mars, Mars's surface has been badly scarred by the flash. This implies ''incredible'' strength of the flash, perhaps to ensure the light can return from its destinations, comparable to {{tvtropes|KillSat|death-ray satellites}} in fiction. | The title text suggests that, due to the sunshield not being angled to shield Mars, Mars's surface has been badly scarred by the flash.
