Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

Lunarchic is a WONDER !

And there ARE things that we can find out.

If "all the basics that could be known WERE known" people would be more free in the ways that ought to matter - if people had much sense at all.

A lot of people do.

If we really knew the basic things - we could, and would want to, start teaching them in nursery school - and people of all ranks and ages would care - and know what the "core curriculum" was for raising human beings. And on the things that everybody really needed to know - everybody would agree.

There would be few enough of those things.

And plenty of choices for everybody involved.
