[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlueElectron: [QB] I don't know what president Bush said(and president do make mistake when it comes to announcing national defense plans), but any military expert will tell you that Star War is still a "WORK-IN-PROGRESS". I don't recall anyone ever said that it is perfect as it is in the current stage. Why does it take so long? Look at the F-22 "rapter" for example, the idea for ATF(the project for F-22) started out way early in the 80s. If it takes 20 odd years for an airplane to be developed, imagine how long it's going to take for a project as complex as Star War. Is it worth it? Sure it cost a lot, but if I am a country like US who wants to maintain a global military superiority, of course I want a head start in the space arm race before anyone else. And don't tell me there's not such a thing as space arm race, because it started every since the first spy satellite was launched into space! [/QB][/QUOTE]
