America’s “Star Wars” Systems
I began my engineering career working on Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars system. I probably won’t post much on its latest challenge, taking down one of our errant spy satellites, beyond saying ‘watch and learn’. This nation has awesome capabilities it doesn’t tap because of its respect for humankind and life. Those die hard terrorist states in the ME should take note – we have incredible reach and can destroy a lot if we are forced to do so. We were not forced to do so in Iraq or Afghanistan.
And in other news …
It is snowing in San Diego County California, near the Mexican border. Interstate 8 closed above 2000 feet with over a foot of snow.
Is there anything more you can say?
