Reagan’s program was supposed to destroy long-range intercontinental nuclear ballistic missiles in space. It would be very difficult even now to knock out an ICBM in space. Any proposed system, even if highly successful, couldn’t guarantee that all the ICBMs would be disabled. If only a few got through, the devastation would be monumental. Furthermore, the response of any adversary to the existence of such a system would be to launch many more missiles. This would mean building many more.
Current systems are much easier to design and can be used with much greater success.
All grocery store eggs are unfertilized and can’t produce a chick. This might not be the case for eggs you get from a neighbor if they’re keeping a rooster.
My cat begs for milk. I give her about a tablespoon a day, which is enough to satisfy her, but not upset her. She also likes tiny bits of cheese. These are very little pieces. And bread, little bits of bread.
I was regarded as lazy in school because I understood the concept after three problems and found the next thirty mindlessly boring. I hated math. I became a math teacher.
