Great.......the surplus has been squandered, social security is in danger, education stinks, and we're going to spend money on a missle defense shield that will only piss off all the other countries.
Nice.
Nice.
These tests are totally irrelevant in my opinion. The variables of the test were arranged and the conditions were favorable for a successful intercept. I can't be to impressed when the test was performed under controlled conditions. The test were also performed from site specific locations with coordinates for intercept already determined.

If you really believe that the US will be technologically capable of building a missile defense shield in the next 20 years you are extremely naive.
Consider this - an enemy launching missile will not tell you it's launch site co-ordinations, trajectory, payload or destination. To think that the USA could seriously control every missile launched and intercept it before it reaches it's destination is believing in science fiction. Maybe in a 100 years it will be possible.

Guys, Guys I'm an aerospace engineer.
I knew about the details of the test.
Obviously, striking a target w/o any pre-determined
co-ordinates, speed, geometry etc... etc....
is not possible with todays technology.
However, even with all the factors pre-determined
it's STILL DAMN HARD!!!
The success of this test means that they have perfected
the use of a new type of high-altitude gyroscope.
(Which was the only reason I followed the test for)
The bad news for you US people is that Bush has decided
to step up the number of tests to one per month.
At $100 million a pop, thats $1.2 billion a year
Sorry guys, but your president is pretty much in the pockets
of your defense contractors.
Godspeed

Good info fonz, so the president of the USA is making sure the defense industry makes an extra couple of billion dollars of American taxpayer's money, hah! What else is new?

He's not "in the pockets of the defense industry." If you haven't noticed, he is pushing hard for a missile defense system and that's why he wants to go forward with more research. It's his baby now and he wants it to move forward.
Geez, this is ridiculous. A Republican can't do or say a damn thing without being accused of being in the pocket of some industry. Dems raise money just like the Reps so.....
Oh yeah, RyanH's continually predictable responses to anything involving Bush, a Rep, or a Dem is pretty ridiculous in it's own right. You're becoming a joke man.
