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?

Let me give you a little clue, and I will borrow a line from the Sean Connery movie 'The Hill'

"Wilson(Cia/Military-industrial complex) took over days ago, can't you see that, look at him!"

This war with Iraq provides almost incontrovertible proof of that.

Who pays you?

The three questions. Answers.

In their back pocket.

Anyway they want.

With whoever will do what they say.

The nation's largest intelligence agency by budget and in control of all U.S. spy satellites, NRO is talking openly with the U.S. Air Force Space Command about actively denying the use of space for intelligence purposes to any other nation at any time—not just adversaries, but even longtime allies, according to NRO director Peter Teets.
