#10  Lest we fergit, "SPIES LIKE US" MOvie > D *** NG IT, CONTRARY TO OUR PROMISES AND PRESUMPTIONS OUR "STAR WARS" ALL POWERFUL DARTH VADER- WOULD-BE-PROUD SUPER-LASER MISSED THE MISSLE BY INCHES - GOOD THING WE HAVE "MUTUAL DESTRUCTION WAR" CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR JUST SUCH A SITUATION.

Clearly to prove our innocence we must destroy the World iff we are going to stay out of Fort Leavenworth US = OWG-NWO Federal Prison.

* RENSE > PENTAGON CONDUCTED PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATION ON THE US PUBLIC.

AKA PYWAR/PSYWAR, PYOP/PSYOPS > You know - the MAFIA, WALL STREET, ..................@ETAL.

TRUTH BE TOLD - IT STILL DOES.

Once again, America = Amerika, the USA = Strong USSA/ weak USRoA Global SSR, AS LIKE OWG-NWO AND OTHER WE THANK YOUSE FOR YOUR VOTES WHICH NEVER OCCURRED, AND FOR YOUR CONSENT WHICH WAS NEVER ASKED, NEVER WAS NOR WILL BE, ERGO EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT.

M*A*S*H > D *** NG IT, THIS IS A PRESS CONFERENCE [Democracy]- THE LAST THING I WANNA DO IS ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS [ask = explain to Voters]!

#7  a space shuttle bay full of basketball sized steel balls covered in heat resistant ceramic.

What the shit would a load like that weigh? And if we figure out a way to build something that will get it into space all at once. Go us.

#4  "A better scheme is to give the weapon to be launched from the satellite a small push, after which it will spiral in gradually."

Remember all of those geosync sats from the 70s, 80s and 90s, Richard? Some have maneuvering fuel left.

#2  Much depends on the purpose of the kinetic energy weapon. Most of the study has assumed a deep penetration single weapon, like a bunker buster. But just as valuable, in a different way, would be a multitude of shallow penetration large area weapons.

The difference is between the "rods from God", and a space shuttle bay full of basketball sized steel balls covered in heat resistant ceramic.
