    no, but what is impressive is that now, if you're a hyper conservative warfaring mongrel looking to the next cold war, you can get funding for a missile defense program that is 'satellite' orbit based, drops missiles that have booster and scram jet technology, and destroy thew lesser advanced arsenal based on regular old rocket technology now in the hands of your foes. It's kinda like taking a poker game and introducing a second full hand.. all stakes on both hands. Sure, you could also attacked a nuke to these.. but the friendly old US of A wouldn't provoke a war in such a manner, would we? Nahhhh.

    That's great! Pity we'll probably be running out of oil to power these things by then.
