Are you talking about the half assed one we built 40 years ago? Or the
new full assed one that we are getting ready to build?

I recommend Fred Saberhagen's _Some Events at the Templar Radiant_ on this subject.

The new one.

Is the old one, if it was ever actually completed, still around?

Only for the flesh-lings, Lynn.
Mr. Burns will be happy in his new body.
One of the early LLMs spun a future like
that but the plug was pulled.

Too bad we have not yet developed
the Asimovian positronic brains yet with
the 3 Laws of Robotics somehow built in.

bliss - Lindsey Graham should be in touch soon
not sure it will be on a Hot Line or Cool.

I have no idea. The details were never released to the public. There
has always been rumors that we put nukes in orbit after Operation
Fishbowl but nobody wants to talk about them. One of these tests EMP'd
a portion of Hawaii in Operation Starfish.

I think he's talking about Star Wars/ High Frontier, whatever it's called.
It wasn't putting nukes into orbit... it was proposed in order to keep
nukes OUT of orbit or high atmosphere.

And, it might have worked... and it might not have... and it might have advanced software engineering technology if it had been done right. But
it was never even prototyped let alone built, because the Russians ran
out of money first.

The 'Star Wars' program was mostly cancelled after the USSR fell -
there was no longer a need for it. Some research continued, but afaik
nothing was put in orbit.

However, one of Edward Teller's proposed weapons was an orbital,
nuclear pumped X-ray laser, in Project Excalibur.
