big whoop. its already as obsolete as the shuttle. over half will fail to launch or break up on reentry. another 30% will fail to hit their target. leaves us with 20% we can easily knock out with our new ship based lasers.

China is “innovating” thirty years in the past. The U.S. is innovating 30 years in the future.

That was my thought, haven’t we been successfully shooting down missiles and artillery shells with lasers for over a decade now? You’d think if we were doing that then, by now we could outfit each nuclear ship with a laser pretty quick if it could just get congressional funding.
