Nothing else comes close.

Pay attention to space junk which are antiSAT
because coordinates matter.
They had to wait until Captain Kickass is out of power, in order to make these upgrades, I'm sure.
Those missiles were manufactured during the cold war when the United States had a huge space and missile infrastructure and lots of aeronautical engineers. I would be surprised if anything like that existed now so replacing these may not only be expensive but a very difficult and a lengthy process. Replacement devices will need to be smarter and maneuverable as there is a rapidly evolving intercept technology. Also, we may want to rethink the ground-basing concept as the circular error probability of a kill is pretty much dead on today whereas in the fifties, sixties and seventies you could be pretty sure your silos would survive a first strike. A ground based system that is vulnerable may increase the probability that a false attack reading, caused by human error, a software glitch or meteors, would need to be responded to more quickly than in the past. This could result in a first launch when there is no real threat.
If no course correction, daisies.
What did we get for all the trillions the current group spent? Note: It was not my intent to say blown or pissed away.
Just great................
I’m happy to announce that the Timpanagos Nuclear Missile Company will be submitting a bid to build the nuclear missiles for the USAF.
I hope there is enough room in my garage.
