Science
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?

I don't think there is any defense against measles, except
maybe a vaccine. But vaccines hurt. I guess the pressing
question is
"how much hurt are we willing to endure for the benefit
of not worrying about measles?"

truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have
done and worked for on this thread.
Loop tests are essential to get logical
closure on anything that matters.
A quote from " way back " with plenty of
intermediate detail is useful.

Rick comes quickly up to Renault.
. Rick: How can you close me up. On
what grounds?
. Renault: I am shocked, shocked to
find that gambling is going on here!
This display of nerve leaves Rick at a loss.

This thread has gone on a long time - http://www.mrshowalter.net/Sequential.htm
- and usages cannot be accidental.
In Casablanca - it isn't made clear whether gambling
is in violation of some ordinance. But it is clear
that, de facto - it has gone on a long time.
Of course the NYT could close down this thread any time it
wanted - or bar me.
Right now, I'm going on. Though I will take a little time,
to try to see how I might get through, if not to
cantabb and jorian - to others.

Two-three more self-references to irrelevancies.
Loop tests are essential to get logical
closure on anything that matters.
For that, first, you need FACTS on a well-defined issue,
and a rational approach toward an objective: You've neither
defined the issue, nor have the relevant facts on it [your
opinion is NOT a fact-substitute], a rational approach using
the facts, or a reasonable objective you think you are working
on.
Mere talking of "Loop Tests" is NOT going to anywhere, no
matter how long you keep repeating yourself.
The rest (including references to Casablanca etc) is just
more of the same wasteful aimlessness.
Of course the NYT could close down this
thread any time it wanted - or bar me.
Regardless of what would NYT do, if anything at all, the
FACT remains you have used the MD Forum for reasons,
absolutely NOTHING to do with "Science" or the Forum objective
defined in its Header. That is an abuse of privilege !
You are NOT focused at all and show no inclination toward
that to carry on a rational discussion. The issues are always
clouded by personal obsession and interests.
Right now, I'm going on. Though I will take
a little time, to try to see how I might get through, if not
to cantabb and jorian - to others.
Regardless, you can NOT avoid the questions. And,
your obsessive self-referencing to your own totally irrelevant
posts serves NO purpose, yours, NYT's or the forum
readers'. I doubt if you'll escape criticism if you continue
to abuse NYT posting privilege (regardless of what NYT
thinks or does].
