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?

Some things seem to me to be going reasonably.

But I do have reservations, and serious ones, that I believe almarst shares, based on gisterme's very extensive postings.

Links to gisterme's postings, and links to some serious reservations of my own about some of gisterme's postings, are connected to MD9538 rshowalter 9/20/01 5:01pm http://www.mrshowalter.net/a_md9000s/md9538.htm

PSYCHWAR, CASABLANCA, AND TERROR , tells a key story about the Cold War, which has interested many people. http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.ee7a163/0 Especially the core story part, from postin 13 http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?8@@.ee7a163/12 to posting 23 http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.ee7a163/22 There is a comment in #26 that I feel some may find interesting, as well.

A fairly compact ongoing summary of this thread from March 1 to date, with many links, is in Psychwar, Casablanca, and Terror -- from #159 on. http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?8@@.ee7a163/165
