Missile Shot Down Simulation
« on: December 15, 2009, 02:55:59 PM »
More and more money is spent on military purposes, while science and health are far from doing well, let alone benefit from similar budgets. While it's hard to argue that national security and defense are crucial tasks, it is also important to know that only the missile defense program that's been going on for about eight years has cost around $100 billion. As a part of this program, on December 5th 2008, the US Military performed a test during which a long-range ballistic missile was shot down.

Taking out this missile was a demonstration of the ability to thwart a possible attack coming from potentially hostile nations such as Iran or North Korea, according to senior defense officials. The missile that simulated the attack was sent off from Kodiak Island in Alaska, at 3:04pm Eastern time, was tracked by a number of ground and ship-based radars at the same time, then brought down 25 minutes later by a "kill vehicle" about 3,000 kilometers far, above the Pacific Ocean, as stated by the Missile Defense Agency.

"It was the largest, most complex test we have ever done," shared Lieutenant General Patrick O'Reilly, chief of the Missile Defense Agency, during a Pentagon news conference following the test, as quoted by the Washington Post. "The key to our protection [...] is to be able to have all of these different sensors simultaneously tracking" and identifying the same item, which happened for the first time with this test, he explained. "The kill vehicle was sent to a very accurate spot in space," and this achievement "does give us great confidence," he added. - softpedia.com

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Just to let you know that sometimes in year 1976 to 1988 I was working in this isolated island in this base Kwajalein Missile Base in Marshall Is. I was connected with Food and Service Div. and we could observed some incoming and outgoing missile over the skies in this particular island.All on-going program are top military secrets and we don't have any idea whats going on inside.The 3000 miles mentioned in this newsletter is the place that I used to work.

When I dole out food to the poor they call me a Saint, but when I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.

thank you for the most update data what's going on  in this missile defense business.I could remember sometimes in the year I was in the island "how to hit a certain military target with multiple entry".It was the time when USSR (Soviet Russia) was still competing US missile capabilities how to destroy each other target.We could visually observed the Russian spy ship spying and collecting their data in the ocean after the three miles territorial limit off-zone law.The launch started in Northern California Vanderberg Air Force Base and ending at this inland in a short time.According to sources it was a comlete success.
