Keep in mind that this summary is from the same MIT that assured us in the 1980’s that it’d be impossible to create missile defense because, as the thinking went, “you can’t hit a bullet with another bullet”.

Funny that MIT was so out of the loop. My brother was working on algorithms to do just that (with missiles) in the 70s.
