[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Decoys don't neccessarily have to be on a rocket. Although, it should be noted that we tried a test ... tried to shoot down one missile with another. It cost $100 million ... and the rocket failed to deploy. Bye-bye-tax payers money!!! A warhead could be placed in, for example, a Mylar balloon. Hundreds of decoy balloons could then be launched to cover the one with an actual warhead. The system is thus far unable to figure out the difference between a live target and a decoy. Another problem is that rogue states may be more likely to fire short-range missiles, which are easier for them to develop and deploy, and which the proposed national missile defense can't stop. Oh, yeah, and 50 Nobel Prize winners (21-in physics) say it won't work, but it will be destablilizing, and Russia and China will embark on an arms race to overwhelm our missile defense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
