I agree that space marines are a wast for ASAT but take objection
to the statement that we are spurring the Russians on in ASAT
technology. The Russians have taken the initial initiative and
continue to develop ASAT wepons. I think an ASAT race is terrible
but if there is no treaty, assuming the Russians honour it, we
have to go ahead. Not nice but necesary. I say stop for a year
and see if they talk. If they don't we will have lost two
years, it takes a while to get going again, and will have to give it
alot of attention, and money, to catch up again.
