Norbit,
We should be more concerned with watching the ports than the skies. And I wouldnt put too much stock in missile defense systems yet. OTOH, I am certainly not opposed to the R&D.
It's one thing to knock down an sat with a well known and steady orbit. It's another matter to knock down a missile on a supposed trajectory you have just computed in a matter of seconds.
