Now we just need to scale it up and put a big sucker like that in space.
It's always best to have the biggest, baddest, weapon around.Which country would you consider attacking more, a country that could hurtle a nuclear shell at nearly one mile a second, or a country that still relied on rockets and conventional forms of propulsion? It acts as a good reason for other countries not to attack us. (Trying to think of the correct term...) Even though, we already have enough of those!
But still, it is best to be one step ahead of everybody else.
