Some of the scientists who worked on "Star Wars" told the story on tv that it does not work, because it can not work. It's a multi million dollar boondogle that will only make other countries nervous. Hell, even Canada does not fully trust us! why should Russia? Even the most recent tests have been failures. If we would mind our own business, we would not need such expensive weapons, but, of course, it is not about protection, it is about make work, the worst kind of corporate welfare.
