Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

Thanks Boys/Gals !
Which Lab engineered the MOAB ? Good job !
I saw the LMSC THAD interceptor missile in Sunnyvale some years ago. Very impressive ! Looked like two stages. Also saw the Trident. At least 6 ft in diameter and 30 ft long. Lots of room for MIRV's !
Lockheed strongly disagrees,

As for Trident, if it works why change it ?
I would change the kinetic "kill" warhead on the THAAD to a tactical Nuke however.
There is also a "wild" claim in some defense quarters that we have "brilliant pebbles" type ICBM killer satellites in orbit. Top Secret.
