Iranians in SPAAAAAAAAAACE!

So they're going to juice up a theatre ballistic missile and fling a recon satellite up to look at Israel. Okay.

I have remained pretty non-committal about Star Wars for many years because I can see the good of it even if the "how" is awfully difficult. I can also sympathize with the Chinese anti-satellite experiments of a couple of weeks ago.

The dictum that there is no defense against an attack from outer space remains true but there needs to be one.
