The Strategic Defense Initiative, also known as SDI and “star wars”, has received billions of dollars each year since Reagan’s time. Even the highly manipulated tests where we know the exact time of launch and the exact path the missile will follow, have had poor results. Finally some one has the courage to pull the plug on this money pit, a quarter century too late. Sure, someday such a system may be workable, SASERS for example, have some promise, but till then our best option remains using Carter’s stealth bombers to take the missiles out prior to launch.
