Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

The USSR took the threat of SDI seriously enough that, in 1988, they attempted to launch a prototype school bus-sized satellite equipped with a megawatt carbon-dioxide laser into orbit. Called Polyus, the purpose of the satellite would have been to shoot down SDI satellites in the opening phase of a large-scale nuclear strike. Unfortunately - or fortunately - the satellite's booster malfunctioned after separation from its Energia heavy-lift launch vehicle, and it did not achieve a stable orbit, reentering the atmosphere over the South Pacific and burning up.
@caav565 жыл бұрын
IIRC, there wasn't even an actual laser aboard the Polyus, because it was so rushed to launch (also the reason for glitch, which made Polyus deorbit itself).

Oddly enough, we're very close to a ground-based anti-missile system which Regan dreamed of. They are working on a variant of the M109 to fire hypervelocity projectiles to shoot down ICBM's. There's also some advancement in railgun technology, although that hasn't panned out to anything useful just yet. There's also a new anti-missile system using lasers in development, but requires a larger power budget than the new Gerald R Ford class supercarrier that was supposed to be using it.

Strategic Defense Initiative for those who were teens during that era understood they just wanted to make a real-life Missile Command (tm) video game. Shoot down the incoming missiles with your own proximity detonated missiles. They even included MIRVs in the video game! I think the game was from 1982, so I wonder if it was just natural for the government to say "hey, that might work!" Not to mention 1984's "Real Genius" movie, short version, put a satellite in orbit with a 5 megawatt laser, and a mirror tracking system to effectively shoot anything on the planet. SDI included this network of satellite laser platforms in the concept. I believe the US Air Force has something very similar (but firing from an aircraft instead of a satellite.) Neat how fiction and research/development seems to follow each other...

The US (and other countries) already have several anti-ballistic missile (ABM) programs in progress and completed. While many are for short or medium range missiles (for example, THAAD), some, like the Ground Defense Initiative are directed at shooting down ICBMs and have shown success in the prototype stage. Of course, at this point these programs have no chance of stopping 1000s of ICBMs, but the potential for ABM systems is real.

And Gorbachev's shorts got filled with bricks...

Very good, BUT I can argue with points regarding the formation of the program and the causes of the USSR's collapse. The Star Wars program was just that, a PR campaign masterminded by Bush I (VP at the time) and Cheney (Secretary of Defense) who was taking advantage of Reagan's early onset Alzheimer's. Anyone with two working brain cells knew that what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on a global scale would result in human civilization's demise, which means they would be dead and their families wouldn't be rich anymore. As for the USSR the catalyst fort its destruction was Chernobyl. Their resources were running dry, their tech insufficient, and economically propping up smaller communist regimes (like NK and Cuba) were cumbersome, they were now responsible for Soviet deaths and radiation poisoning of parts of both sides of the European Iron Curtain. Hence Perestroika and Glastnost under Gorby.
