Does it work?


These people say they "can" work. And are working to
make it a reality soon.

So that's a 'no' then.



The question that should be asked is if the US military should
continue to militarize space as fast as it can, as part of missile
defense and the war on terror?


Space is already militarized.
where do you think the ICBMs travel?
Or where the military guidance and communication sats exist?

what's wrong with ballistic missile defense?
whether space-based or terrestrial.
DEFENSIVE missiles (particularly hit-to-kill)in space or on the
ground threaten no one.
