So, the idea behind Brilliant Pebbles (aka: the Strategic Defense Initiative) is this:Launch several hundred thousand 100-pound, 3-foot long, "smart," light-seeking, kamikaze computers into low orbit. There they'll sorta' mingle with the rest of the high orbital traffic, and whenever they see fire, the pack mentality will take over and they'll all just start bashing themselves into these huge incoming enemy missles, destroying them.
I love American ingenuity.
