Can't afford a T-Shirt?
"Last January, the US Space Command held a simulated computer
warfare "game" set in the year 2017. The "Blues"
(US) went to war with the "Reds" (China). The Blue team
launched a preemptive first-strike attack on China using the military space plane, the now planned successor to NASA's space shuttle. The second weapon used in the January computer war game was the space-based laser (SBL). The SBL is a resurrected technology from Ronald Reagan's Star Wars vision that would be an orbiting battle station whose laser would knock out other countries' satellites in space and hit targets on the Earth below. Last December the Pentagon announced the start of the SBL testing program at NASA's Stennis Missile Center in southwest Mississippi. By the year 2012 they hope to deploy the first operational SBL to be eventually followed by a constellation of 18-48 of the weapons orbiting the planet. Power for the SBL would be provided by on-board nuclear reactors. The Pentagon estimates the SBL testing program will cost over $30 billion.
Lockheed Martin, TRW, Boeing, and Raytheon are the top four
Star Wars contractors. Their campaign contributions to Republicans and Democrats alike have paved the road for nearly unchallenged appropriations of research and development (R & D) funding for the many different technologies now under way. The Pentagon figures that by opening up many different Star Wars project lines that they will be able to increase the money flow and over time get some of them to work. So-called missile defense systems thus get the pipeline moving."
There are a lot of these types of websites talking about this stuf...
