Yes but can you make a mirror like Kent did in Real Genius?

"KENT: See! Do you have any idea how hard it is to make a film virtually 100 per cent reflective, one micron thick and apply it to a mirror this shape?"

That may be the line in that script but it wasn't in the actual film. He just says something about making the "phase conjugate tracking system mirror" or something to that effect. That must have been some sort of "working script" as I recognize many other lines that were different or omitted in the final film.
