Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Western nations fear China has fired the first shot in a post-Cold War arms race in space by destroying without warning one of its own satellites with a ballistic missile. US intelligence agencies have obtained evidence that a ground-based, medium-range ballistic missile knocked out the Feng Yun 1C weather satellite on January 11 through "kinetic impact", or by slamming into it.
Hmm. Is it easier to hit a satellite with a missile or a missile with a satellite?...
Star Wars Won't Work
Depends on what your definition of "work" is. If the defined mission is to line the pockets of space and defense contractors, to the tune of billions and billions of dollars, then I'd say it's worked quite nicely so far. In fact, it's probably been one of our most successful corporate welfare programs.

You got that right. And China`s finding inexpensive ways to make our guys go crazy spending more to find ways to protect the Star Wars program!
Aggrandizement by elites is driving us to ruin.
