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?

"gisterme , who has posted so extensively on this thread, could not have done so, without the knowledge and backing of the very highest levels of the Bush administration, including Rice , Rumsfeld , Armitage , Wolfowitz , Hadley , and their bosses."

Showalter...delusional, clinically paranoid, needs psychiatric care.

The NYT placed me on this board

What nonsense ! "[P]laced" by NYT ?

Didn't you have to register with your personal details, submit, and agree to abide by the NYT conditions and policies ?

...- and I've been much more focused on missile defense than Jorian319 , for instance.

Could it be that I'm doing something right - and some political leaders are feeling pressure ?

Delusionary.

You -- a poster who does NOT know what you have been working on, who has NOT defined it and been dodging the questions.

And, your postings ONLY show endlessly rambling inanities [nothing 'privileged' or 'classified'] -- NOT quite the stuff that can ever make people quiver in their shoes and beg for your mercy.

....and if gisterme is anywhere close to the Bush administration - the things he says about Iraq - and the UN - bear reading...... And what the notions of obligation at the NYT actually are . .... In postings in this thread gisterme has often taken the position of an officer of state - with a treatening degree of power not far from reach.

A great deal of "evidence" - according to well worked out procedures - that are not only applied to Shakespeare - but that are used in courts, these days, almost every day - -

WHAT "well worked out procedures" ?

How to search, save, file in a folder, and post [what you dragged into your files], re-post and re-re-post ad nauseam ? Like your version of "Loop Test."

Scientific, factual "evidence" ?

You mean our courts are THAT bad ( as you ways/procedures often show)?

You make me laugh !

In my last post to Klsanford:

"....to call the cops when a neighbor's or a friend's house..." : typos removed.

In post #14592 to WRCooper, this sentence got mixed up. Now, corrected as

..." A huge waste, I agree, without compelling evidence to the contrary..."

108 on MD .. in the same time period Science in the News had 13, and Environment had 8

A concentration of 'effort' on MD board to dross-out certain golden postings perhaps :)
