The SDI was far from being a "science fiction": high-power lasers, including X-ray lasers, electron-beam (particle-beam) projectors were already well-advanced in their development. If you were around at the time, you might have read a number of press-releases, and viewed film-footage, released to the general public through NASA, etc., and seen, world-wide, of tests of prototype laser-beam projectors. Who can forget seeing a 6" wide hole punched through a 12ft cube of steel-reinforced concrete?
SDI technology was indeed feasible & practical, it was happening, the tech WAS in deep R&D and it COULD have been completed, if people like Bush and those he worked for had not killed SDI for their own reasons.
Everyone should go to LaRouchePAC and donate to help the youth movement win this war. We must have a New Bretton Woods agreement, with fixed Exchange rates. All the news in this battle is being published at LaRouchePAC. There is a plan "B", we need not allow the bankers to put us in bankrupcy. They are the one who are bankrupt. The United States has to take control of these financiers.
Zap! Zap! Zap! We just zapped millions of tax-payer dollars!
SDI "Star Wars" was a scam.
Love those sound effects. Brilliant. Such a well thought out demonstration video.
That's how you sell an idea to the American public. Zap! Zap! Zap! Just like a video game.

Sqaaak is RIGHT and Bernd1964 is WRONG.

Says who? What made it science fiction?
Was/is the proposal possible? What would make it so? and/or what would prevent it?
