[LINK] Star Wars (the other one)

Will Baird has an interesting post up regarding the United States' development of space-based weapons. While there is a certain coolness factor adhering to this idea, I keep thinking of Kate Bush's 1985 song "Experiment IV".

We were working secretly
For the military.
We only know in theory
What we are doing

[. . .]

We won't be there to be blamed.
We won't be there to snitch.
I just pray that someone there
Can hit the switch.

[BRIEF NOTE] Something Positive, Though Expected

People like Randy Milholland a.k.a. kobold, they really do.
