Yeah.

So, um, let's, let's start with, uh, the first delivery vehicle of course were bombers, and then in the, uh, late 1950s, uh, we and the Soviets began racing for ballistic missiles, and the Russians got there first with Sputnik.

Because if you can launch satellites, that means you have the capability for ballistic missiles.

Uh, and that really transformed the Cold War, because, uh, until that point Uh, and with apologies to those great Twilight Zone episodes of the '50s where people were building bomb shelters all over the United States, uh, it was highly unlikely that Soviet bombers would reach the continental United States with a, a retaliation.

So with ballistic missiles, now they could target and retaliate against the United States.

Uh, and then after the land-based ballistic missiles came submarine ballistic missiles.

So in the Cold War, they all complement each other, and I'm just talking about Cold War technology here, right? Uh, bombers, the most accurate 'cause you can get close to the target.

So is your view that this is a bargain to preserve Earth, or is this wasteful spending?
