US Lab Developing Technology For Space Traffic Control

The driving idea behind the project is to help keep satellites and other spacecraft from colliding with each other or with debris in Low Earth Orbit."

Can it control the speed of the ICBMs?

No matter if it's NRL or the one from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, if they can control *ALL* space traffic, including the ICBMs, that would be wonderful.

In fact, I would very much like to encourage them to develop the technology further - by not only able to control the speed but the trajectory of the space traffic also.

That way when someone started launching ICBM to attack another, people can use that technology to turn that ICBM back to the country of origin (and reduce that country back to the kingdom come, as they fully deserve)
