    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.

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.

11625 http://forums.nytimes.com/webin/WebX?8@13.GfcHbeXyX3y.2661721@.f28e622/13233 gives links to the question

"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.
