Peck examines the technology and history of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system. The task for the $28 billion Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, or GMD, is often compared to hitting a bullet with a bullet, but that's probably an understatement. First, the interceptor must spot the bullet in the vast expanse of space. Then it must intercept it at a combined closing velocity at least 10 times higher than that of two bullets fired at each other. No one can credibly promise that the GMD system will work as planned in an emergency, but with North Korea exploding nuclear bombs underground and testing long-range missiles, the US plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in 2017 to continue improving a system that was rushed into service in 2004 to meet then-US President George W. Bush's deadline for deploying a missile defense system.
