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?

On May 21, 1977 I dutifully and gratefully set out the details of the komodo dragon mating habits and territorial markings and range habitats.

These details and facts can be cross-checked and co referenced at the following website

After checking my facts and cooridinates I am planning a party to celebrate another komodo fact checking session.

All missile defense brothers are invited.
