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?

Q: Can't a 'parrot' live in a barn ?
Am sure it can, for entertaining the stable, the coop etc.
But not having been in one, what does Polly say ? Want a
cracker ?

The premise of the game you develop ... is similar to
Missile Command in that you're defending helpless cities
against an incoming threat.
In this case, however, the threat is giant meteors, not
nuclear warheads. The Meteor Defense game employs a game play
strategy similar to Missile Command in that you fire missiles
at the incoming meteors to stop them from destroying the
cities below.
As you'll find out, the critical skill to becoming a good
player at Meteor Defense (and Missile Command as well) is
learning how to target a meteor and give a missile time to get
there.
In other words, you often have to lead a meteor by a
certain distance to give the missile time to get there and
make contact.

If the meteor/missile proliferates -- what then?

Define 'anti-american' ...
Most of your posts, as I mentioned before !
[cf. Anti-Australian, from, say, Indonesia]
Information is information
And, highly 'selective' information is highly 'selective'
information.
Neither balanced nor put in proper perspective: Just
personal bias !
Similarly, one could easily post ONLY "selective"
pro-American stuff to highlight !
You may think so, but such bias is NOT the way to find
"Truth" (not even from your neighborhood "Truth Dispenser").
Like selective "truth":
"ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing :
build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation"

Bluestar: She's just being a loyal follower, with a
search-copy-post link-machine -- while the tired
search-save-file-post-repost-repost(n)machine is in repair.
