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?

After that week of dialog, I felt I understood the
Russians better, and hoped that, if the Russians could
understand these things, they might be able to sort out some
of their internal and international problems better than
before.
I don't know if it has worked. But it seems to me that the
Russians have done pretty well in a lot of areas since March,
and almarst , Dawn and I have kept talking. (There have
been 6258 postings since we cited "Muddle in Moscow" http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=533129
)
We've also had a lot of dialog with our "Bush
administration stand-in" gisterme , starting with a
powerful one in his first posting .. MD2997 gisterme 5/2/01
1:09pm ... that has clarified a lot. almarst has
paid attention to that dialog.
Has all this work been useful? Dawn and I have tried to
make it so.
It seems me that, if Bill Casey was looking
down, he might be smiling.
Maybe laughing at me.
Hard to know.

is data - it is a record - and it was altered today.
I'm supposed to be the only person who can delete my own
posts - and this posting was deleted - for reasons that I
think may be significant. (I wouldn't have thought to
delete the posting #219 - July 25, 2001 - but can see why some
people might want to.)
To delete the posting that was, till today, # 219 - a
posting 15 months old -- wasn't a casual act.
The links reproduced above link to postings prior to March
2002 that are preserved on CD.
The work cited in these deleted postings, I believe, was
what it was intended to be - a major service to national
interest - a successful effort to build bridges of
communication that were necessary, and have borne fruit since.

It seems to me that there are things that need to be
CHECKED.

I've worked hard, and Dawn has worked hard - to solidify
lines of communication that are of vital, big scale life
and death concern to the United States of America, and the
whole world. A communication model. http://www.worldtrans.org/TP/TP1/TP1-17.HTML
Here is the index page of a CD -- “Missile Defense - New
York Times on the Web - Science Forum Archive - - rshowalt
7/19/02 9:16am - by distinguished anonymous posters and M.
Robert Showalter.” The CD is now available in updated
form, with key Guardian Talk threads, and demonstration
programs on polynomial processing.
If you click " rshow55" in the upper left hand
corner of this postings, you'll access some links - some, set
out in groups of links, that connect to postings that tell
something of my background. I say that I worked under Bill
Casey. And yet I have produced no records. How can anybody
be surprised, considering the priority of the work I was
entrusted to do?
