ladajo, why do you even try!? Are you amused by it or you just can't behave yourself?
My altruistic nature? I really don't know anymore. Maybe I just have a hard time accepting without comment glaring stupendous errors.
Joseph, I well know that direct blunt comments escape you. But, I will try one more time.
I am saying that a missile defense system does not need to be 100% effective or even close to it to have significant effectiveness. This point entirely escapes you.
But it would seem that war planning in its entirety escapes you as well.
Another point; Do you really think that Draper is going to post Special Access Program or Sensitive Technology Information on the internet? Come on Joseph, you are smarter than that.
There are many ways to navigate Joseph, and you seem to think that Inertial is the only thing going. Even if you try and expand your reality a smidge and accept that Updated Inertial could be updated by many means, you could discover a whole new reality by accident.
Or you can continue to insist that you can find on the internet, everything you need to know about US strategic systems.
Yes it is true, on the internet you can find many references talking about how missiles can be/are guided by INS, and INS with Astronomical Update. Maybe you should wonder exactly how good this method can be, and, if there are other ways to do it, either separately or in concert. But that would require critical thinking on your part. Something you seem to lack.
But, what do I know?
One thing I know for sure is that you do not know what you are talking about on this topic. Have you ever even been to Draper? I have. It is near one of my favorite places, Lincoln Labs. And I love going to Lincoln. You know what else is not far, Endicott House. Fantastic place to stay, or have dinner. The Gun Room is fantastic. But I am guessing you have no idea about what I am talking about with this either. Google away Joseph.
