I am happy that this system has been canceled, but I am still concerned about what will be planned to replace it. America needs to learn to work with other countries to solve problems instead of taking actions that foster a confrontational environment.

If things goes to smoth look again. Wernher von Braun (the rocket scientist) warned about this before his death, a women named Dr. Carol Rosin was the first woman corporate manager of Fairchild Industries and was spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun in the last years of his life. She founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space in Washington DC and has testified before Congress on many occasions about space based weapons. Von Braun revealed to Dr. Rosin a plan to justify weapons in spaced based on hoaxing an extraterrestrial threat. She was also present at meetings in the ´70s when the scenario for the Gulf War of the ´90s was planned. So keep your eyes open it ain't over yet.
