    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.

For example, 15018 http://forums.nytimes.com/webin/WebX?8@13.H8pKbD0ZPqd.3541604@.f28e622/16729 says "I think getting this solar energy project done would be worth more to the US national security than anything that can possibly happen in Iraq.

The process of generating and perfecting such solutions - and checking them - is clearer than it used to be - because of work lchic and I did together - especially this http://www.mrshowalter.net/DBeauty.html

That doesn't depend at all on what some people say about my sanity in 1988 - or now - for people who look at the work, and judge for themselves.

If I had a stable answer to my security questions - that could be used administratively - I'd be out of my current effective house arrest.

And I'd be free to discuss "how crazy I'd been" with a lot of people I can't talk to comfortably now. Including some old AEA investors - who might find it an interesting "story".

And this thread would remain as big as it is - and as full of interesting posts (even if you happen to discount mine). http://www.mrshowalter.net/Sequential.htm
