Abstract:
Perhaps more than any other defense program in history, the Strategic Defense Initiative - or SDI - is beset with myths, misunderstandings, and outright distortions. Recent news reports, for example, relying on leaked and incomplete information, questioned SDI's technical feasibility, even though real progress in SDI testing continues to be made and even though the veracity of these news reports is refuted by well-respected scientists and even some critics of SDI.
