"Serious Setback"

Hey, these were THEIR words, not mine: Yahoo! News - U.S. Missile Defense Test Fails

Read the story. In this $85 million test (!), the interceptor missile failed to fly. It didn't even take off. My concerns about the viability of this program didn't include basic rocketry problems. I'm still unconvinced that, in the case of a multiple missile attack, we would not be able to successfully intercept enough missiles to avoid lasting damage to our country.

There are those that insist that intercepting "some" nuclear warheads is better than "none", but Wednesday's test puts even THAT theory to question.
