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?

Shut Up or Get Lost.

showalter must never show his face around here again without being pounced on immediately. I've been lurking for a while now and see clearly how destructive his presence is.

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.

Read a lot more Jorian319 - and interesting stuff. But so far, nothing even remotely close to missile defense.

Jorian - so far - nothing by you on missile defense - not even a whiff in the first 45 I've read - but some interesting stuff, all the same.

Do you get any "whiff" of MD in your 14,000 posts here so far ? Not to mention another 10,000 before ?

The only "whiff" I ever sensed from your "pile" of posts reminds me of a "dumpster" NOT hauled away for a L-O-N-G time.

[NB: IF you 'reading' Jorian, or some one else's, posts NOW, did you ever read them WHEN thewy were posted the first time ? May be I should also add "reading, re-reading, and re-re-reading" to your "Loop Test" list.]

( can't ask Can't tab ... because cantabb is on everyone's Ignore Posts list )
