Today I first presented. Lucas went after me. His topic was Reagans Strategic Defensive Initiative. It was created March 23, 1983. If the Soviet Union launches a misslie towards us. It used space-based and ground-based. The SDI was more focused on the defensive strategy. This allowed the US first strike capability. The X-ray lasers used energy from warheads and it would shoot down missiles in short periods of time. Chemical lasers, there was one known as MIRACL. The Hypervelocity Rail Gun could shoot out the rail at 24 mph. The main idea of the SDI was to protect against missiles. Reagans Star Wars speech in March of 1983, he said that . Russia was upset about it, they said that the SDI could launch missiles and they would shoot theirs but our lasers would destroy theirs and they would lose. This is really what started the space race. The SDI has changed to the Missile Defense Systme today. People thought that the star war speech was inrealistic and a fiction fantasy. In 2006 the system of missile defensive became limitely operational.
Brandon went next and his topic was the New Map of Europe. Yugoslavia was split up into smaller states.
