Not only I who should be concerned;

msn: North Korean missile could hit U.S. in 33 mins, says study; find gaps in U.S. missile defence (WION)

#####

Gaps?
That's not good.

Trump said that if NK fired missile at the US, NK would cease to exist.
What does Biden say?

I worked at China Lake when they were working on the Star Wars program for Missile Defense...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative

One advancement that resulted from the research at China Lake was Laser Eye Surgery.

The most obvious advancements in Missile Defense is the Iron Dome in Israel which the USA and Israel worked together to develop.

A new thing that the scientists are working on is to be able to better see the nuclear weapons, and when combining that research with research on lasers, a scientist told me that they hope to be able to remove Cancer. They want to be able to see and isolate the Cancer and then remove the Cancer with the laser that only removes the Cancer and which leaves all other tissue in tact.

The F-35 and the F-104 Starfighter are totally different airplanes, and each has their strengths. What makes the F-104 Starfighter better at intercepting Missiles is that the F-104 Starfighter is WAY faster than the F-35 and the F-104 can go to high altitude quickly and can shoot down the ICBM. The F-35 is good to put on an aircraft carrier and to use as a fighter plane, the F-35 handles well and is agile.

If you want a fast plane to go up and shoot down the ICBM, then you want the F-104 Starfighter, but the F-104 needs to be modified, you need to vector the thrust to improve the steering and to help it to pull out of spins, and you need to update all of the technology on it, etc.

Of note, we need for more women to study to be scientists, at China Lake it was all men. The scientists are cool people, and they study everyday so they are all brilliant. I had the opportunity to have a permanent job at China Lake, but it was all men, there was not any women there. We need for more women to become scientists. I love women, and I did not want to live out in the middle of nowhere where there was not any women.

More women are also becoming pilots, etc, which is good.

Salute,

No wonder they do not want books on schools.

They do not want people reading about their skeevy deeds in the future.

Who was the scientist?  I have seen some of the research, where they induce tumor cells to absorb a dye which will then make the tumor absorb more laser light of a certain frequency , heat up as a result, then die.  Was not aware this was connected in any way to weapons research, hence my curiosity as to who this scientist was.

Re: Cut emissions quickly to save lives, scientists warn in a new U.N. report

Hubris squared.

Once CO2 is introduced to the atmosphere it can stick around from 300 to 1,000 years.

As the Hippy Dippy Weatherman once advised after his radar showed  ICBM missies  trailing a low front:

Do not sweat the Thunderstorms!

Hubris squared.

Your utter disregard for any science you disagree with politically has previously been noted.
