Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4I live in Kodiak where the "target" missile was fired for the last failed Missile Defense test.
This test cost 85 million dollars and proved only what most of us already know - the program doesn't work and it's a gigantic waste of money.
Here in Kodiak, access to one of our most important recreation areas (hiking, hunting, whale watching, etc) was prohibited for over a week while they tried to get their missile ready to launch.
Over 50 million federal dollars have been spent to build the Kodiak Launch complex which has only fired some seven missiles since 1995 (and one of those blew up one minute after launch.)
The community here does not support the facility or the NMD - we've seen firsthand the waste of money.

"Highly-satisfied NASA boffins donned their party hats on Monday to celebrate the first anniversary of their Spirit rover's martian adventure.
Spririt touched down on the Red Planet on 3 January 2004, closely folowed by Opportunity on 24 January. Although both completed their three-month primary missions back in April 2004, they have continued to do sterling service well beyond their expected lives. At present, according to the NASA press release, Spirit is "exploring the Columbia Hills within the Gusev Crater", while Opportunity is "driving toward the heat shield that protected it during descent through the martian atmosphere" so that scientists can examine the effects of atmospheric frction on the same."
Great isn't it?
they're at their little computer screens anaylsing the data being kept safely out of harms way in their party hats.
See? we are all happy now.
I think we should encourage the Americans to explore the universe, and put all their best boffins to the task of reading the computer readouts from the little machines they send into space.
But First we want to feed the hungry.
and end 3rd world corruption, exploitation, desiese and convince them that we are not the Great Satan.
Leonardo di Caprio, (whom you may remember from such movies as gangs of NYC where he played an irishman) has donated an unspecified sum of money to the Tsunami disaster saying "phi phi island was the most pristine beautiful place I've ever seen" (he made a movie there)-
Well done Leonardo! We hope you are happy in your marriage, and look forward to seeing you again on the silver screen soon. Thank you for the calenders.
