should have stayed anon this bread
There are several fronts which must be considered in my
proposal to the President. We must boost spending in new, more
powerful radar. We must encourage more research programs for
lasers. And, we must investigate the use of microwave and pulse
energy devices along with directed energy weapons in space defense
systems. Particle beams are effective over vast distances and
could aid in space defense against intruding enemy spacecraft.
Progress toward such an objective, since the end of World
War II, has occurred in discouragingly small steps. Even so,
we cannot afford to give up hope; we cannot afford to stop taking
small steps. By the same token, we cannot afford not thinking
of taking big ones. What I suggest is a big gamble but what if
that gamble pays off through a major break through in technology?
We have the talent. We have the means. All that is lacking is
the political will and determination to succeed. We must not
hesitate nor falter. I believe all that I propose is possible
and can be done. I ask that you weigh the risks and the
benefits and consider what the alternative offers if we fail.
