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?

IGNORANCE

Implies that aspects of truth are hidden

TRANSPARENCY and CONTROL are therefore important to people's parliaments
