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?

Errata:
Casey told me ( with a threatening, merry glint in his eye
) that it was "easier to get forgiveness than
it is to get permission.
Those times are nervous times. Logically challenging times,
as well.

"what would it look like, written up in the NYT"
That question's been referred to a number of times on this
NYT Missile Defense thread.

"Gee thanks. I'll have to read all those links next time
I'm in Singsing for five-to-life.

Are there times when even The New York Times could
use some cover from other media - when even the TIMES
needs protection?
I think maybe so. Maybe we can do better about that than
we're doing.
I used to think a lot about issues of self protection - and
national protection - and I think the TIMES is safer
now that a buch of disks of this thread have been widely
handed out.
And, if the work was discussed on TV, might be safer still.
