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.

Could that be AEA's Tom Feeney, formerly Vice President of Engineering of Ford Motor Company, running in the 24th Fla district for the Republicans?

I'd LOVE to talk to Tom, if that's who it is.

Could the E. Clay Shaw Jr. running in the Fla 22d district be the son of the Clay Shaw Garrison prosecuted, who was portrayed (perhaps unfairly) in the movie JFK ?

Just noticed. Wish I had staff and time to run everything down I'd like to. Feeney was an excellent engineer - and he'd be a very good man to talk to , dealing with some of the things I've discussed on this thread.
