It once seemed impossible to fly. Then, when flying was commonplace, it seemed impossible to land a man on the moon. Now it is thought to be impossible to build a defense against missiles! In a test, we have already intercepted and destroyed a missile. The defending missile isn`t as complex or expensive as the offensive one. It doesn`t even have to be explosive. Isn`t it reasonable that with more equipment we could shoot down more missiles–perhaps any number an enemy could send our way?

In the ”can do” spirit of the American people, I say let`s get on with the project.
