SM-3 Interceptor Missle a huge success

CNN ^

The Navy intercepted and destroyed a warhead as it separated from its booster rocket during a test Thursday off Hawaii -- the first time a ship at sea has shot down a multi-stage missile.

Good news. Also check out these links for further info because I hate CNN.

Major kudos to the President for standing firm on SDI. This is a critical effort in the defense of the United States.

SM-3

Just found the article buried by the msm on a military site, notice it was on Nov. 17 not today. I hate how they bury good news. It burns me up to no end.

It's a hit !

Viva Bush !

The SM-3 missile is designed to impact with a relative velocity of roughly 10,000 feet per second (6,818 mph) at an altitude greater than 94 miles, the Navy has said. The energy released when the missile hits its target is calculated to be in excess of 124 megajoules -- the equivalent to the force released when a 10-ton truck traveling at 600 mph hits a wall.

Man alive! I just love the hardware our military has at their disposal! :-)

To quote Bill Maher....

"...it doesn't work!"


Suck it, Maher.

I see the writer's driven on I-10 late at night...

LOL!

...or maybe driven down Parley's Canyon on I-80 going into Salt Lake City.

I'm becoming more convinced that a significant percentage of truck drivers are mental institution escapees.

Shudder ... you completely one-upped me on that one!

I propose a test. If Bill Maher doesn't think it SDI works, why doesn't he pony up the $$$ for a solo ride on a Soyuz mission, then have the Navy launch a SM-3 missile at it. If Bill is right, he's got nuttin' to worry about!

The SM-3 is the most successful of the SDI efforts, by far. The airborne laser effort is struggling under all the new tech being developed, where the SM-3 uses proven hardware as leverage. Very quietly succeeding, and the MSM hates to report that. Failures are much more sexy to the scum.............
