...going to have to spend $1.6 trillion over the next five years to rebuild our infrastructure," says Janet Kavinoky of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an organization not known for its radical-leftist leanings.

Since then, the laws have transformed into what is essentially a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy intended to improve relations between police and an immigrant community that does everything it can to operate under the radar.

Back in the atmosphere, space-related problems no longer deter the defender. An RV can be detected by standard imaging radar and shot down, preferably with smart rocks. But little time remains once the RVs are spotted, which means a defense runs the risk of being overwhelmed.
