My colledge roomates' parents..or dad works for Digital and is part of the testing team that works on the baliistic defense system. They live on the Kwajalein atoll. I speak to him all the time. That system works and has worked for far longer then we have been told. I'm not sure its 97% but its only one part of the "shield". They also have 747's with lasers that can knock them down soon after launch, provided their in postion. I'm not sure about the satelite deal but with China supposedly having killer satelites I'm sure we have something up there.
