US Missile defense test fails after "clay pigeon" goes astray

Sat, 2007-05-26 17:11.Global

A scheduled flight test of the long range US missile defense system ended in failure when the "clay pigeon" target failed to reach the destination.

According to the Missile Defense Agency, the target launched from the Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska failed to reach the defended area.

As a result, the Ground-Based Interceptor, which would have come from the Ronald W. Reagan Missile Defense Site, located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California was not launched.

Embarrassed officials are conducting an extensive investigation to determine the cause of the malfunction.

I really don't know about that...you hardly hear anyone making fuss about how their tax dollars are spent, with the exception of one or two badly funded NGo's in Washington.
