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?

If I were in Putin's place, if the shares of a national
asset plunge enough - I'd print government money to purchase
stock from "possessors in due course" and ordinary
stockholders - without purchasing shares from people
being charged. Within Russian traditions - I bet that would
work - and would be supported for fairness. Would also be a
good way to get strategic control where the Russian state
needs effective control - and where fairness that can
be explained to the Russian electorate is important.
Not that Putin would listen to me http://www.mrshowalter.net/PutinBriefing.html
- but here's a place where it does make sense to give
reasonable adjustements to "losers" - and allocate gains and
losses between interests in a fair way that can be explained
in the specific context involved.
