re: #459 Daniel Ballard

That’s untrue. The strategy is the same. The concept of anti missile defense is the same. And the R&D work certainly carried forward, as aerospace technology always rests on past advances.

Sorry anti missile defense critics-you were wrong.

Yeah, because Israel is using lasers in space to shoot down mortar rounds.

SDI did not start the concept of anti-missile defense. That was Project Nike.

I think you’re just confused about what critics were criticizing and why. I think you’re also making the mistake that just because research led to another discovery later, that initial research was efficient.
